My name is Margaux and I am reaching out to you on behalf of our friend Ifasayo/ Miasia. For the past two years, our friend has been dealing with severe chronic abdominal and chest pains, tinnitus, IBS and CPTSD. The pain has been so severe that she needed to leave her job in 2021 and utilize her Long Term Disability benefits. Sadly, her disability payments were abruptly canceled at the end of October, with Ifasayo/ Miasia only being notified in December. As such, she is in dire need of community help to get through the winter until the decisions made about her disability policy can be appealed and reinstated.

Because of the late notice of the cancellation, Ifasayo/ Miasia only has enough in her savings account to cover some of this month’s bills and will need help with food, dog and cat food, plumbing and structural house repairs, an overdue tax bill and an overdue water bill. She is applying for food assistance at this time but has not received it yet.

As we continue through the holiday season, please consider contributing towards this fundraiser and reaching out to our friend Ifasayo/ Miasia. Dealing with emergencies like this one can be very isolating. We need each other. She has given us all so much care over the years and it is only fitting that we do the same in her time of need.

Thank you in advance for your love and support.
