Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out with love and hope to ask for your support for my sister Lauren Engel, who recently suffered a painful ankle fracture that’s left her unable to work for at least 6 weeks. She’s currently recovering but the road ahead is not just physical healing — it’s also financial strain.

Lauren is one of the hardest-working people I know. She’s always the first to help others, whether it’s family, friends, or someone in need. Unfortunately, with this unexpected injury, she’s unable to return to work and doesn’t have paid time off to cover her rent, groceries, and basic expenses during recovery.

I’m starting this fundraiser to help cover:

• Rent & utilities

• Groceries & daily essentials

• Transportation to doctor visits & physical therapy

• Medical costs not covered by insurance

Anything you can contribute — whether it’s $5, $50, or even sharing this with others — would make a huge difference in giving her peace of mind and space to heal without added stress.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.

With love and gratitude,

Tara Engel
