Helping Stephanie heal

Hey everyone.

My name is Sydney. It's likely we've met already but if we haven't I hope we get to soon. I'm here on behalf of Stephanie and her friends Lina, Aleks, Jordanna and Jill.

As many of you may or may not know, Stephanie was recently in an awful accident on her bike. It was Wednesday, October 9 and she was having a regular morning and on her way to work. One second she was blissfully riding along on her bicycle and the next thing she knew, her bicycle tire got stuck in a streetcar track and sent her flying through the air. She landed first on her head ( THANKFULLY she was wearing her helmet) and then on her arm.

Her arm is broken in two places: her humerus and her elbow.

She's had to go through a horrific experience setting and resetting the bones and is now casted. In time, she will find out if she is needing surgery or not.

Stephanie will be out of commission for what looks like 3-6 months, as her arm heals and rehab begins. As you all know she works for herself supporting others by making meals for them and helping them manage the day to day tasks around their homes, however it's impossible for her to work at this time and it's VERY difficult to heal when you're under the stress of paying rent and bills.

Which is where this gofundme comes in.

One of Stephanie's most regarded values is community and she is a community player like no other. Right now, it's time for us – her beloved community – to step in and support her.

One of the best ways we can support her right now is to alleviate her financial stress for the next little while.

And together, we can totally do this!

Any and all funds raised will go directly to Stephanie to use towards rent, bills, food, rehab and wellbeing over the next 3-6 months.

We're starting with a goal of $10K with hopes that her healing occurs within that 3 month period. Depending on how things unfold we may increase the goal but we're starting out hopeful.

Please know that any and all donations are helpful. Times are tough for a lot of people. We don't take that for granted. If $5 is what you can do right now, do that. If you can do more and want to do more, do that. It all helps move us towards our goal of having Stephanie back up, spreading joy and dancing again (with her arms as part of the dance party).

Thank you so much for your support and generosity. It means the world to her.
