Dear friends,

I’m reaching out today with a heavy but hopeful heart. A dear friend of mine—a dedicated and hard-working teacher—recently lost her car in the devastating city flood. While thankfully she is safe, the loss has been overwhelming. Her car was not just transportation; it was her way to get to the classroom every day to teach and support her students, many of whom rely on her more than they’ll ever realize.

She lives paycheck to paycheck and simply does not have the funds to cover the deductible needed to move forward with her insurance claim. She's someone with a deeply kind heart who rarely, if ever, asks for anything—but now, she truly needs help.

If you’re able to contribute any amount, no matter how small, it would mean the world. And if you can’t give at the moment, sharing this message or simply sending your support is more than appreciated.

Let’s come together and lift up someone who gives so much of herself to others every single day. Thank you for reading and for considering.

With gratitude,

Blanca
