My aunt Stephanie is facing one of the toughest challenges of her life. On Tuesday, 11/25/25, she suffered a massive stroke that turned our world upside down. She’s already undergone one life-saving surgery, and now she is currently heading in for a second surgery where a stent will be placed to prevent a stroke recurrence. With her husband unemployed and recovering from a broken leg, Steph is left without the financial support she needs to cover her her monthly expenses as well as medical bills. The road ahead is uncertain, and she will require extensive rehabilitation to regain her strength and independence.

Steph is one of the most generous people I know. Even when she doesn’t have much to give, she always finds a way to help others—whether as a friend, sister, aunt, or colleague. She’s been with her job for a very long time and is known for her loyalty and kindness. Steph’s giving spirit has touched so many lives, and now she needs our help in return. Stress played a big part in causing her stroke, so we want to do everything we can to ease her worries and give her the space to heal.

The funds raised here will go directly toward Steph’s medical bills, living expenses, and the rehabilitation she needs to recover. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help reduce her stress and make a real difference in her journey. We’re asking for your support during this difficult time. If you’re able, please consider visiting Steph in the hospital to lift her spirits, and sharing this fundraiser with others who might want to help. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to our family, and we are deeply grateful for any help you can offer.
