<div>Hello Dear Ones,
</div>
<div>I hope this finds you all well.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am reaching out today to my friends, my community and aquaintances near and far, to share this message and to ask for your support in a moment when I need it most . 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m currently facing a serious health challenge and the time has come to address It.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>About a year ago I was diagnosed with a tumor (adenoma polimorfo) in the parotid salivary gland (located under my cheek bone) .
</div>
<div>The nature of the tumor can only be determined upon extraction, therefore after several consultations and much consideration I have decided to undergo the highly invasive surgery to have it removed.
</div>
<div>Due to the sensitive nature and location of the tumor, close to nerves that control the movement of the face,
</div>
<div>I have decided to seek the best medical treatment possible, therefore will have the surgery in a private clinic in the north of Spain, as opposed to the public hospital here in ibiza.
</div>
<div>  This wasn’t an easy decision, but however costly it is, it’s also what feels like the best decision for the most favourable outcome.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This situation has put me in the position to ask for help as in this moment my health depends on it and so I step forward, trusting and openly asking for your collective financial support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will help to cover all costs, including the surgery, post surgery and further expenses that will be required . This including travel, accommodations located near the clinic before and after the day of surgery and recovery time, that according to the doctors may take between 1 to 6 months, depending on the outcome.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As I don't know when I will be able to return to work or daily life to support myself, your donations will also help to offer peace of mind throughout the healing and recovery phase.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And despite the discomfort that this whole situation creates, I can already see how much it is teaching me and expanding my capacity to trust, in Life, in the people that are around me and Love me, and in myself . Showing me how some challenges are not meant to be faced alone and how very blessed I am to have many friends like you who are there for me.
</div>
<div>This knowing alone makes me feel so rich, grateful and supported while I go through this very humbling journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can and feel called to help, your donations are welcome and will be deeply appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The goal is to raise 30.000 euros to cover all the costs from surgery and all phases in between and thereafter.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The surgery is scheduled on the 5th of November,
</div>
<div>I ask you to please keep me in your Hearts and Prayers on that day and the following weeks and to send a lot of positive energy and healing vibrations my way
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So far I do not feel like being exposed on social media unless it is really necessary. Therefore I am also asking you to please use discretion, not to post anything about this on Facebook, Instagram or any similar platforms.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However please do feel free to forward this as a private message with the gofundme link to any friends or family that you think may be able and happy to support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading, and for being part of my life in a way that I can reach out to you, feeling safe and held in this deeply personal moment .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sending my blessing and Love to You and Your families .
</div>
<div>With deep gratitude and trust in my Heart.   Virginia
</div>
