Pam Hawkins is facing a tough road ahead after needing hip surgery. The challenges of a broken health care system have made things even harder, and to make matters worse, she doesn't have paid leave this time around because she already had her other hip done. This means she’s left to recover without the financial safety net that so many of us rely on during difficult times.

The funds raised here will go directly toward covering her surgery costs, rehabilitation, and the living expenses she’ll face while she’s unable to work. Every bit of support will help ease her stress and allow her to focus on healing, rather than worrying about how to make ends meet.

We’re reaching out to our community for a little help from friends—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this fundraiser, your kindness will make a real difference. Thank you for considering lending a hand during this challenging time.
