Help Stephanina with her recovery

Hello!

We set up this page for our friend, Stephanina Michaelis. She's a very tough woman who copes cheerfully with life's difficulties, including being mother to two special needs children plus a baby. But right now she needs some help.

After seven surgeries and years of severe pain from a deteriorating foot, Stephanina has just gone through surgery to amputate it. She is recovering well, has a positive outlook, and has no intention of giving up on her goals, one of which is to continue her martial arts training in aikido.


Stephanina knows that recovery will be a long hard road, and she's up for the challenge. Lightening her financial burden of medical and rehab expenses will help her to get up and (literally) running again. Any contribution you are able to make will be very much appreciated, as will any puns you care to leave her in the comments. Yes, her sense of humor is intact. 

Sincerely,

Christine and Irina
