Help Raquel in her battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig )

Donation protected
I post this with a heavy but hopeful heart. One of my dearest friends, Raquel, was recently diagnosed with ALS also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Devastating news to say the least.
I am not one to post things very often but I will for her. I have known Raquel since I was twelve years old. Anyone who knows her I am sure would agree that she has a great laugh and an infectious smile. Raquel is the most generous, kind, fun loving and respectful person I know. She always has a smile and welcomes everyone. She sees good in everyone and accepts them for who they are. She is all-inclusive. Raquel is a people person and loves to have get-togethers and feed everyone! When she would have people over, she welcomed all. There was always room for one more.
She has been known to adopt feral cats, love dogs, feed squirrels and birds - she is just so loving and kind.
It is just not fair.
Raquel has been a teacher at Head Start for over 20 years. She just loves children and although she could have gotten a job in the public school system, she was passionate for the work she did and the families she met.
Now she needs our help.
ALS is motor neuron disease, it has affected her muscles to speak, and she fatigues often. Raquel can no longer work and she lives by herself. I am hoping that we can help her pay her cost of living expenses to help alleviate any undue stress and anxiety. Please consider donating any amount you can to help in this effort.
Also, please remember Raquel in your prayers. Miracle requests are always appreciated as is the peace and grace to accept her path.
Thank you and God bless!
