Help balance Tanya’s equation

Friends & Family,

I’ll keep this (relatively) short, and not because this ask isn’t worthy of extensive thoughtfulness, but because any of you who know my sister won’t need a lot of reasons to understand. My sissy is one of the kindest and most loyal, generous, dedicated and hard-working people I know, and she would never ask anyone for anything, so I will.

In the spirit of my math wiz and nearly 30-year educator sister, right now her equation looks something like this:

Newly single status + 2 teen daughters + Debt from previous family medical bills + Teacher’s salary + 10s of 1000s of $s in urgent and major home repairs + All household expenses + Working 70-80 hrs a week with multiple jobs = how the heck can I get this math to work?!?

Tanya has never shied away from ways to make the math work to cover major family medical expenses or unexpected bills. And that’s just what she’s done for many, many years. She’s picked up summer work, tutoring after hours, leveraging loan options … so far it hasn’t resorted to her opening an OnlyFans page for foot pics but that’s not been ruled out. Seriously, she simply has no more hours to give to make more money to pay these unexpected bills.

I realize some folks reading this might be feeling financial stress too, and if you are, I hope blessings find their way to you! But, if you are in a financial position to bless someone, please consider blessing Tanya. Skip your Starbucks for a few days, skip a movie date this month, skip your car payment … kidding! We have an incredible network of friends, and small dollars will quickly add up. I believe she absolutely deserves generosity and some peace of mind financially, and I’m hoping many of you agree! I know she’d appreciate it more than you could ever imagine, and so do I.

Thank you!
