Aid Ta's Healing and the Webb Family

Hi Friends, Family, family of friends, friends of family, and good Samaritans,

We are Michael, Ta, and Sloane, and together we are the Webb family. We live, serve, and work in Bellevue, WA.

Recently, we have been dealing with multiple layers of stressors that we have been attempting to navigate with minimal impact on our community. On 12/15, Ta's mother, Renee, tragically ended her life. Ta has been devastated by this loss and continues to manage new details related to her mothers end of life and remaining estate. On Ta's birthday, just 6 days later, Ta was hospitalized due to gallstones, which were causing infection in both her gallbladder and pancreas. With this information, Ta learned she would need surgery. However, because Ta had only started her new job a few months prior, she learned she would not be eligible for the state's Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), meaning she would not have job protections during the month-long recovery period that would keep her from working post-surgery. Shortly after learning this, we were filing our annual taxes when we found out that we unexpectedly owe a rather large amount in taxes.

These last few months have been challenging mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially.

While we continue to find ways to prepare for life's curveballs, we hope you might help ease the burden of our current situation by contributing whatever is on your heart to contribute. It is our mission to serve the community around us and never did we think we would come to a point where we would need to approach our community with such a big ask.

If you need any clarification on what we are facing or would like to offer words of advice, please feel free to reach out! We would love to hear from you!

Thank you for your care, consideration, and generosity!

Love,

The Webbs
