Hi everyone.

As many of you know, teaching is not just a job - it's a calling. For years, I've had the joy of helping fourth graders grow, learn, and find their confidence. Unfortunately, over the past several months, I've been facing a series of serious health challenges that have required multiple hospital stays, ongoing treatments, and extended recovery time.

These medical issues affect my kidneys and bladder, causing severe pain, infections, and fatigue. Despite my best efforts to keep working through treatments, my condition has made it difficult to maintain the energy and consistency that my students deserve.

Between missed work days, medical bills, and the extra expenses that come with long-term illness, the financial strain has become overwhelming. I'm reaching out for support to help cover medical costs, lost income during recovery, and other essential expenses while I focus on healing and getting strong enough to return to y classroom.

If you're able to donate, share, or even just send words of encouragement, it means more than you can imagine. My goal is to return to teaching as soon as I can - my students are my heart, and they keep me fighting every day.

Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and understanding.

With gratitude,

Sarah
