Ramona - Family Member , Friend, Teacher Extraordinaire!

Donation protected
As many of you know, Ramona Tillitson is currently in Loma Linda University Medical Center, facing a very serious health battle. Over the past four weeks, she has undergone 8-9 surgeries due to severe abdominal complications and remains in critical care.

Her son, Colby and his family are doing all they can to be by her side - traveling between Washington and California to advocate for her care, comfort her, and ensure she is never alone during this incredibly difficult time. While they've managed to cover some costs on their own, the mounting expenses are becoming overwhelming, and they are reaching out to friends, family, and the wider community for support.

Your donations will help cover essential needs including:
•Last minute flights
•Rental car
•Professional support (legal paperwork, notary services, etc.)
•Time off from work, gas, and meals
•Other unexpected costs that arise

Thankfully, lodging is not needed, as friends and family in the area have graciously opened their homes.

Every contribution - no matter the amount - is deeply appreciated. Your generosity allows Colby and his family to focus on what matters most - being there for Ramona.

Update:
Ramona has been able to hear many of your loving messages and cherished memories. Colby reads them to her bedside in moments between rest and pain. With a soft smile she said, "Wow, I didn't know I was so popular." Colby and Mandy, his wife, wrote, "We are beyond grateful that she has the chance to feel the outpouring of love and support from so many who care for her deeply. It's a comfort that lifts her spirits and lightens this incredibly heavy time. From the bottom of our hearts - thank you."
