Dear Friends, Family, and Neighbors,

Our long-time gardener, Gerardo, has been struggling with serious stomach issues for over a month. Despite multiple doctor visits and initial treatments, his condition has not improved. We are setting up a fundraiser to help cover the cost of his upcoming medical tests. His medical team now recommends several additional diagnostic tests to determine the cause and prevent further complications.

Unfortunately, these tests are not covered by his medical insurance, and the out-of-pocket costs are far more than he can afford. Gerardo is not only working multiple jobs to provide for his family—he is kind and caring. It’s incredibly difficult to see him in pain and worried about how to pay for the care he urgently needs.

Any contribution—big or small—will make a meaningful difference. If you are able to help, please consider making a donation.

Vivian and I thank you for your compassion, generosity, and support during this challenging time. Your kindness means more than you know.

With gratitude,

Eric and Vivian
