As many of you know, both Michelle and Gill have faced an incredibly challenging year, taking significant blows to their health.

Through it all, life hasn’t paused — the financial responsibilities of running a home, keeping a car on the road, and ensuring the boys are cared for have continued. But in reality, life did stop in many ways. The ability to work and provide became secondary, because the main priority has been survival, supporting one another, and continuing to be the best parents they can for their boys.

Something has to give. As a school built on faith and community, I know we would all want to help in whatever way we can, especially as Michelle and Gill continue with treatment and recovery.

With birthdays and Christmas approaching, even the smallest gesture of support would mean the world to them. They are both proud and strong, which is why I’d like to do this as quietly and gently as possible.
