<div>Dear friends and caring community,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm reaching out on behalf of my dear friend Mara. A single mom and an Educator for St. Paul Public Schools, who recently suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm. This life-threatening event has turned her world upside down, adding to the challenges she's faced over the past two years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Mara, known for her kindness and dedication to others, now needs our support.</strong> After 12 days in the ICU, she faces a long recovery period of at least six weeks. The financial strain from medical bills and lost income is significant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I've started this GoFundMe with Mara's blessing to help ease her burden during this difficult time.</strong> Every contribution will help reduce stress and support her healing journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Importantly, Mara wants everyone to be aware of the signs of stroke. She asks that you remember BEFAST:
</div>
<div>B - Balance: Sudden loss of balance
</div>
<div>E - Eyes: Sudden vision changes
</div>
<div>F - Face: Face drooping
</div>
<div>A - Arms: Arm weakness
</div>
<div>S - Speech: Speech difficulty
</div>
<div>T - Time: Time to call emergency services
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your generosity, whether through donations or prayers, can make a real difference. Let's show Mara the same love and support she's always given to others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness and compassion. Together, we can help Mara heal and recover.
</div>
