I’m starting this GoFundMe for my friend Donna Jean because she is absolutely worthy of receiving support from the people who love her and also from people who may not even know her.
DJ is a powerhouse leader who loves all of humanity. She’s an amazing giver and so generous. It pains me that she’s been dealing with significant health challenges that have been preventing her from experiencing true quality of life.
Here is a personal note to you all from Donna Jean. Please read so you can better understand what she's facing:
Hello everyone,
I'm reaching out to share a bit about my current situation and ask for your support. My name is Donna Jean Azriel, and I'm facing a challenging health issue that requires surgery.
For the past month, I've been experiencing increasing sinus pressure and headaches, initially brushed off as allergies. However, the intensity has escalated, impacting my daily life.
Simple tasks have become challenging, and the constant pain has been overwhelming. After consulting with an ENT specialist, it was revealed that a bone spur has formed on top of an existing deviated septum, leading to sleep apnea and persistent discomfort. To address these issues, I am scheduled for surgery, which will include a septoplasty, turbinoplasty, as well as the removal of my tonsils, adenoids, and uvula. While this procedure is essential for my health and well-being, it also comes with significant financial implications.
I am reaching out for support to raise $8,000. These funds will enable me to take time off work to focus on healing, prepare for the surgery, and cover rent, bills, meal preparation, and medical expenses during my recovery period.
As a self-employed individual, I won't have income during this time, making your generosity even more critical. Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a tremendous difference in my journey towards recovery. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with your network to help spread the word.
Together, we can make a meaningful impact on my health and well-being. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and consider supporting me during this challenging time. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to me.
With gratitude,
Donna Jean Azriel
Please contribute whatever you can - even how much you spend on coffee in one day (or in an entire month!) would go a long way! Every dollar adds up. We are so grateful for your generous contribution.
