Help Gabrielle Heal for Her New Chapter

Dear Friends and Family,

As many of you know, I am just a few months away from graduating with my doctorate! While I am incredibly excited for the next chapter of my life, I’ve recently faced an unexpected challenge. I managed to tear the labrum of my right hip, and I need surgery to repair it. This injury has taken a toll on my mobility, and I am unable to do the things I love most—outdoor pursuits, yoga, and pickleball (to name a few). These activities have always been a huge part of my life, and I can’t wait to get back to them once I’ve fully healed.

I am scheduled for surgery in April! Just in time before I start a faculty job in August. However, the cost of the surgery and recovery is a significant financial burden on a doctoral stipend (God bless my insurance, but it doesn’t cover it all), and I’m reaching out to ask for your support. If you’re able to contribute, no matter how big or small, it would make a world of difference. I am incredibly grateful for any help and for all the encouragement and love I’ve received throughout this journey. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.

With gratitude,

Gabrielle
