Help Patrice: Tragic Loss, Financial Struggle

Hello, I'm Andrea, a longtime friend and coworker of Patrice. I'm reaching out to you today because Patrice is facing an unimaginable series of challenges, and we need your support.

Just a last week, Patrice was laid off from her job of 7 years, a position where she served as the primary breadwinner for her family. The loss of her job alone would have been a significant burden, but unfortunately, her trials didn't end there.

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Patrice experienced a horrific tragedy. Her parents, Mark and Pamela Novak, were viciously attacked in their own home, with Mark losing his life and Pamela suffering severe injuries, including lacerations and broken bones.

Patrice's mother, Pamela, remains hospitalized, facing a long and challenging road to recovery. She requires extensive medical care, including ongoing physical therapy and mental health support. Additionally, their home needs to be restored, and there's the possibility of relocation to ensure Pamela's safety and independence.

As Patrice navigates the overwhelming emotional and financial toll of these events, we are coming together to support her and her immediate family during this incredibly trying time. The funds raised will go directly towards covering Patrice's life expenses as she looks for another job in a difficult economy and emotionally supports her mother in her time of need.

We understand that times are tough for many, but any contribution, big or small, will make a significant difference in Patrice's life. Your generosity will not only provide much-needed financial relief but also send a powerful message of solidarity and care during her darkest days.

Please consider donating to this fundraiser and sharing it with your friends and networks. Together, we can help Patrice and her family rebuild their lives and find hope in the face of adversity.

Thank you for your compassion and support.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Andrea
