<div>Help me see my mom smile again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My mom has always been the kindest and most thoughtful person I know. She is the type of person who always found a reason to smile and who loved giving others a reason to smile too. Out of nowhere, she would hand you a tiny handmade figure she created while working (see picture) just to brighten your day. That is who she is.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On December 5, while delivering food in Seattle, her life changed in a way none of us could have imagined. She was simply waiting to cross the street when a man came from behind and struck her in the face with a wooden club with nails. There was no warning. No chance to protect herself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The blow was so violent that she fell into the ground instantly. She remembers the shock, the pain, the fear of suddenly not being able to see. Strangers, people I will always be grateful for, rushed to help her, but she could only hear their voices. Her vision in her right eye was gone, and she was losing too much blood. At the hospital, we learned she had multiple fractures in her face, skull and nose... and that the damage to her right eye was permanent. She will never see from that eye again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For a woman who worked every day to support herself and her family, this attack took more than her health. It stole her independence, her ability to work, and the sense of safety she once had. Now even the simplest tasks are difficult. She faces a long road of surgeries, recovery, and emotional healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to help my mom with medical costs, ongoing treatments, and basic living expenses while she tries to rebuild her life after something no one should ever have to experience. More than anything, I just want to help her feel like herself again and bring back the light and the smile this attack took from her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help me bring my mom her smile again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any support, whether a donation, a share, or a kind message, means more to us than words can ever express.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping my mom find hope again and for helping me see her smile again.
