Dear friends,

We're reaching out with love and hope on behalf of someone very dear to us—Laura Oswald. She's been quietly enduring an arduous journey with chronic Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). This past year has been especially hard, with a severe flare that's made daily life incredibly difficult—physically, emotionally, and spiritually and we're helping her ask for the support she so deeply deserves.

For over 10 years, Laura has struggled with this virus flaring. It's been a long, hard road for her, and she has tried many things. Some have helped, but the virus has taken over her immune system, and she has found it extremely challenging to heal in the ways needed. For the last eight months, Laura has been in a severe, ongoing flare that has taken a significant toll.

While Laura may appear to be doing "okay" on the outside, what most people don't see is the intense fatigue, lack of sleep, and brain fog she experiences every single day. Even basic tasks like shopping for her kids, working and paying her bills, exercising for her mental and physical well-being, or showing up fully for her clients can feel out of reach. This illness has quietly stripped away so much of the life she wants to be living, even if it's not always visible.

After years of pushing through on her own, Laura has finally found a specialized EBV Recovery Program that could be the turning point she's been praying for. It's a 10-month, science-backed protocol created by a practitioner and Doctor of Clinical Nutrition with over 20 years of experience treating EBV. However, the cost of the 10-month EBV Recovery Program, supplements, testing, and treatment is estimated at $4,500, making it out of reach financially.

We're coming together to help lift this burden so Laura can focus on healing. Even a small donation will make a big difference. If you cannot give right now, sharing this message with your community is another powerful way to help.

This program also offers a large community of people who can support her and know exactly what she is going through. She will have lifetime access to group calls and one-on-one support, which is excellent as this virus will likely reactivate for Laura throughout her lifetime. The recovery program will put her on a path to healing on many levels so that she can eventually manage symptoms as they arise and get ahead of this very intelligent and sneaky virus that is waiting in the wings to attack her immune system again, even when she is feeling somewhat better.

Laura has always been a quiet force of compassion and care—supporting others throughout her community even while silently struggling. Now, she needs her community behind her. Let's help her reclaim her energy, health, and life.

She desperately wants to get back to feeling her best, living her life, being there for her kids, and continuing to share her gifts while serving her community.

Laura is one of the most compassionate, giving, selfless, and resilient people we know. She deserves the chance to heal and feel whole again—and I believe she can with our help!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting Laura's journey.

With love and gratitude,

Vina, Mike, and Annaliese
