Dear Friends (both known and new!)

I am reaching out to you for help for my friend Kelli Scott. Kelli is an incredibly kind, generous, and active community member and human being. She is a person who would give the shirt off her back to a stranger who needed it, and I know if the shoe was on the other foot, she would be at my bedside at the ER. I cannot adequately express the depth of my admiration for Kelli, her activism, and her humanity.

Kelli is also a chef who has prepared amazing meals for many in her community, and she is an activist who has organized Black Lives Matter rallies and annual Juneteenth celebrations.

Kelli — who has given so much to others and her community — now needs all of our help. She has been diagnosed with a rare disorder called Guillain Barre Syndrome. It is a long road to recovery, and she is facing months without the prospect of an income.  

Kelli is in urgent need of financial support and is seeking caring and generosity. She needs help making her rent and paying for other bills and running costs.

Please make a contribution of any size. Every donation helps, and, put together, they will make a huge difference for Kelli.

With gratitude for your kindness and generosity,

(We love you, Kelli. Get better soon!!!)
