Hello,

We—Ashley, Alex, and I—are reaching out on behalf of our dear friend Sharon Templin and her family, who are going through an incredibly difficult time.

Sharon, a devoted teacher at Bloom High School for many years, has always given so much of herself to help others. Now, she needs our help. Sharon has faced several medical challenges over the past year, and she has recently been diagnosed with heart failure. She has been in and out of the hospital and is no longer able to work, having exhausted all of her sick leave.

To make matters worse, her husband Jim recently suffered a ruptured colon, which has also strained his heart. Jim has been unable to work for the past three months due to his health issues.

With both Sharon and Jim unable to work, their family is now facing overwhelming medical bills and financial stress. They have three children who rely on them, and the burden of these unexpected challenges is more than one family should have to bear alone.

We are hoping to raise $20,000 to help cover medical expenses and past-due bills. Your donation—no matter the size—will make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to give financially, please consider sharing this message with others who may be able to help.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, support, and compassion. Your help can give the Templins the breathing room they need to focus on healing and recovery.

With gratitude,

Ashley, Alex, and Susan Messaglia
