On behalf of my dear friend Teray, I’m sharing news none of us expected. She requires immediate triple-bypass heart surgery. The situation is serious and time-sensitive. 2026 was shaping up to be a powerful start to new ventures, active client work, and promising opportunities for Teray —but all has come to a full stop so she can focus on surgery, recovery and rehab.
Anyone who knows Teray knows she shows up consistently for family, friends, causes, clients, and her community. She is a loyal friend to others and those in need. Now she requires a circle of support around her.
Her surgery is scheduled on 2/11, at MemorialCare Hospital, Laguna Hills. She will be there for 4-6 days, then will return home for recovery & rehab for 2-3 months, with no driving for one month, and a lot of rest.
We’re using the Give In Kind app to centralize updates and coordinate support for Teray. Once there, you can:
• Register for real-time updates on her surgery and recovery
• Sign up to visit her or Contribute financially to help ease the burden
Receiving help does not come easily to Teray. During the coming months, she will face at least $15,000 in medical, recovery, rehab and overhead expenses while she is unable to work. But this is one of those moments when community truly matters and can support her.
How You Can Help Right Now
Financial support will make the most immediate and meaningful impact. Your contribution buys Teray something invaluable: the time and space to recover fully, without the added stress of financial pressure—so she can return strong, healthy, and ready to continue the work and life she cares deeply about.
Please also consider sharing this message with others Teray.
With gratitude,
Jo and Bel
