Ms. Sharon Hagen has been a colleague, teacher, mentor, and friend to many of us in the Department of Defense and local community. She is beloved as a writer, a spiritual advisor, a beacon of hope, a baker, and a shoulder to cry on. If you're looking for a hug and the most delicious cookies you've ever tasted, everyone knows: go see Sharon.

As you may have heard, Sharon took a nasty fall in the office last week and fractured her femur. She will be out of work for 6-8 weeks, maybe longer, and workers' comp will only cover 60% of her salary. The loss of income will be devastating for her and her family.

Sharon has been everything to everybody, and now it's time for us to be there for her. Together, we can help Sharon weather this difficult time.
