Help support Nicole McMaster recover after injury

Hello everyone, My name is Anne, and I want to take a moment to talk about someone very special to me—my best friend, Nicole McMaster. 

 In September 2024, Nicole suffered a serious injury when she fell and broke her radial head (elbow) due to circumstances beyond her control. Since then, she has been unable to work, and if you know Nicole, you understand just how dedicated she has always been to her jobs. Since the passing of her father, she has been juggling two jobs while supporting herself and those around her, and now she needs our help. 

 Nicole is currently attending physiotherapy twice a week, but she has also been diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a debilitating condition that typically develops after an injury. Her doctor has recommended that she continue with massage therapy twice a week and has referred her to a specialist at McMaster Hospital, where she was also diagnosed with severe whiplash in her neck. The healing process for this additional injury is estimated to take 6-8 months, and the specialist has advised aqua therapy three times a week as part of her recovery plan. With her prolonged absence from work, Nicole is facing significant financial challenges and cannot afford the out-of-pocket expenses for her treatments which can be quite costly. Despite these difficulties, she remains resilient and is doing her best to stay positive. 

 If you are able to contribute even a small amount to help alleviate her financial burden during this challenging time, it would mean the world to Nicole and to all of us who care about her. Your support would allow her to focus on her recovery without the added stress of financial worries.

 Thank you so much for considering this. Your kindness and generosity are greatly appreciated
