Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

I am are reaching out on behalf of our dear friend and colleague, Erika Cardona, who has touched so many lives as the aftercare director at the Francophone School of Oakland. Erika is not only a devoted educator and caregiver but also a loving mother and a constant source of strength for those around her. She has spent her life giving to others, ALWAYS going above and beyond to support her community.

Erika has recently become very ill. For over two weeks, she has been in the hospital, and for the past week, she has been in the ICU. As you can imagine, this has taken a toll on her family, both emotionally and financially.

Now, it’s our turn to support Erika in her time of need. The funds raised will go towards medical expenses, household bills, and helping her family stay afloat during this difficult time. By donating, you will be helping to relieve some of the financial burden, allowing Erika and her loved ones to focus on what truly matters—her recovery.

Any contribution, big or small, will make a difference. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page with your network to help spread the word.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity, love, and support. Let’s lift Erika up as she has done for so many of us. Together, we can make a difference in her journey toward healing.

With gratitude and love,

Jess Bustamante
