Dear friends and family of Shari, Jim, and Trevor,

Please join us in accompanying our friends as Shari continues to recover from COVID19.

A week before Christmas, Shari was rushed to the hospital with severe COVID, and was there for almost three weeks, through Christmas and New Year's. Her prognosis is good, but it will take at least weeks if not longer to fully recover.

We can all imagine how scary it would be to suddenly lose a week of work, let alone a month or more, while medical bills begin to mount. Shari is self-employed, and is the income-earner in her household; so this burden is weighing heavily on her after a season of already-slow business. (Real estate in the slow winter months + during a pandemic = an already challenging enterprise!)

As you know, Shari works tirelessly to help others, through her real estate business and in many other aspects of her life. Recently, she spearheaded a fundraiser through Best Christmas Ever and raised over $80,000 in in-kind gifts and financial aid for friends who are dealing with life-altering health issues.

Please join us now in supporting our friend, so that she can focus on healing, without the added burden of financial crisis. The most urgent need is $5000 to cover mortgage payments and other December expenses. Over the next month, meeting (or exceeding!) the total goal of $10,000 will help Shari, Jim, and Trevor catch up with and continue to cover their living expenses while Shari recovers.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to accompany Shari, Jim, and Trevor through this tough season. Any gift of any size will mean so much! Thank you!

Cathy Pino and Heidi Bruder, organizers
