<div>My dear friend is facing one of the most difficult chapters of her life, and I’m reaching out on her behalf to ask for your compassion and support.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Veronica is facing an overwhelming health battle. She has been diagnosed with both Rheumatoid Arthritis and Polymyalgia Rheumatica—debilitating autoimmune diseases that cause severe pain and impacts the muscles, joints, eyes, and internal organs. In addition, she’s been diagnosed with heart failure and a neurological disorder that affects her brain and spinal cord, causing chronic pain, difficulty with balance, and significant mobility issues.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>These conditions have made some everyday tasks nearly impossible. Veronica struggles to walk, use her hands, or care for herself without  assistance. She’s undergone countless appointments with specialists, hospital visits, extensive testing, surgery, and physical therapy—and she’s preparing for yet another surgery soon.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Because of this illness, she hasn't been able to work since December. For someone who has dedicated her life to others — as both a teacher and an artist — not being in the classroom or creating art has been emotionally and financially devastating. 

</div>

<div>Right now, she relies on friends for many daily needs:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<ul>

<li>Getting to doctor’s appointments, since her driving is limited 

</li>

<li>Helping to prep meals, because she can’t chop or lift safely

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>There is hope! </strong>A new medication may help Veronica regain independence, improve her quality of life, and ideally return to work. Your support can help cover her ongoing medical costs, treatments, and basic needs as she continues to fight for her health and mobility.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We’re raising funds to support her with:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<ul>

<li>Essential in-home care

</li>

<li>Transportation to medical appointments

</li>

<li>Meal prep and grocery delivery

</li>

<li>Mobility aids and home safety support

</li>

<li>Covering basic living expenses while she's unable to work

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you know her, you know she’s the kind of person who gives everything to her students, her friends, her art — and now, she’s the one who needs us.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Every donation, big or small, will go directly to helping her live safely, stay in her home, and get through this time with dignity. If you’re unable to give, please share this campaign — it truly helps more than you know.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for reading, for caring, and for being part of the village that’s holding her up!

</div>
