Hello all, Catherine Vitale here!

I'm inspired by the resilience of our dear, kind friend and Central Market partner, Mona, who's fighting a brave battle against Lupus. Despite her remarkable strength, Mona's health has taken a concerning turn, with a diagnosis of kidney failure requiring frequent dialysis. Mona is currently in the ICU due to complications with her dialysis catheter.

As she navigates this challenging time, Mona is facing significant financial strain due to hospitalizations, overdue rent, car repairs, and bills. With her family living out of state, Mona is facing this struggle alone. I'm counting on your support to help Mona overcome these obstacles, reduce her stress, and concentrate on her recovery.

Thank you so much for your generosity.
