Baby Josephine & Mom

Hello! My name is Katherina Roeder, and I am a fellow friend and special education teacher of Michaela Menke-Bruns.

Michaela is a wonderful special education teacher and has dedicated her time, effort, and energy to help many middle school students- a majority who are economically challenged. Her students love and cherish her!

Unfortunately, Michaela delivered her baby Josephine very early- at 27 weeks. The delivery was fast and unexpected.

This has incurred many medical bills and because her infant is premature, Michaela and the baby will have a long journey ahead of them. Although it is 2023, teachers are still not provided with maternity leave. Because of the early delivery, medical bills, and extended care needed for baby Josephine, I am humbly pleading for any help for this little family.

If everyone donated $10 or $20 even- it would make a huge difference. Thank you for the consideration- any help is welcome and she is truly grateful for this assistance.

Thank you so much again,

Katherina
