Help Tasha and Jo-Jeff

Hi,

My name is Karen Sargent and I am Tasha Mae's mom.

On Dec 21, 2021 the provincial government ordered that gyms must close for a month. This is Tasha and Jo-Jeff's only family revenue, plus the business has many bills that will need to be paid.

With the gym closed, Tasha usually offers online programming and classes to help substitute revenue and help the Gabriola Fitness Centre survive prolonged closures.

Over Christmas, their family (three kids, Jo-Jeff and Tasha) contracted the Covid virus. The virus was brought to them through their visiting daughter who suspects she caught it from working in a pub in Victoria. Them catching Covid has nothing to do with the Gabriola Fitness Centre and to date there have been zero transmissions within Gabriola Fitness. Their family is all double vaccinated (except their 7 year old).

On Dec 29, 2021, Tasha was rushed to the hospital by ambulance and was admitted to ICU where she spent the next 3 days under close observation and care. She made a video to tell her story. We are all so very grateful that she survived and is now at home recovering.

Because of two devastating blows ~ first their business is closed for a month, and now Tasha recovering at home after returning from ICU, they need financial help to get them through the next while. With zero revenue possible from their business, and Tasha unable to run her usual programming, we are asking for help from the community. All donations will help their family buy food, pay rent and bills. If you'd prefer to send an e-transfer directly to the family, you can contact me for an email to send it to. Thank you so much. Every little bit will help.
