Help Janice Overcome This Challenging Year

Hi Family and Friends,

I've been struggling with the decision of whether to do this or not. As you all know, it has been a very heartbreaking year for our dear Janice. She has not only had to deal with the trauma of losing her lifelong friend in a shockingly tragic way, but also had to move from a home she loved. We, and a few other friends and family members, have been helping her with this move and witnessed her courage and determination to move forward, but also her heartbreak. She is keeping up a brave front, but honestly is quite exhausted. To make it worse, all the extra expense she's had to incur, coupled with working only limited hours, has left her financially depleted. She doesn't have any emergency funds and is currently struggling to make ends meet. She could really use a bit of a boost from all of us. I felt like I should at least let everyone know that even though she's excited about the future, it is daunting when you have so many challenges.

The picture I attached is of Jan sitting under the Banyan Tree in Hawaii. I love the symbolism. She not only loves trees (all of nature really, being born on Earth Day), but is sitting under a tree that survived against all odds. Now it's her turn. Please consider helping her out so that she can put one foot in front of the other, and also sleep just a little better at night.

Thanks so much, Claudia
