Dear friends and community,
I am writing to you today to share the story of our dear friend Charlotte. Charlotte has been battling a debilitating autoimmune disease, ulcerative colitis, which has left her in the hospital and fighting for her life for the past 5 weeks (since 21st December 2023).
She is now in need of life-changing gastric surgery, which is scheduled for this Thursday, 1st February 2024. The road ahead is filled with uncertainty and challenges, and Charlotte needs our help.
We are reaching out to you today to ask for help your support in raising funds to provide the care and support that Charlotte and her daughter desperately need.
Charlotte's journey has been nothing short of horrendous. The physical pain and emotional burden have taken a toll on her and her 11-year-old daughter. Her daughter has been struggling with the separation from her mother and the overwhelming situation they find themselves in.
Charlotte's surgery is just the beginning of a long road to recovery. In the coming months, she will require ongoing care and support as she adjusts to the changes in her life. Your generous contributions will help alleviate the financial burden and provide Charlotte and her daughter with the peace of mind they need to focus on healing and rebuilding their lives.
We understand that times are tough for everyone, but any donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in Charlotte and her daughter’s lives. Your kindness and generosity will not only provide practical support but also send a powerful message of love and solidarity to this brave mother and daughter.
If you are unable to contribute financially, just sharing this fundraising campaign with your network would be immensely helpful in reaching our goal.
Let us come together as a community and show Charlotte and her daughter that they are not alone in this journey. Your compassion and support will make a lasting impact on their lives and help them find strength and hope in the face of adversity.
Thank you for your consideration and generosity.
Sincerely,
Team Charlotte.
