Lets get Glenda back on her feet!
Donation protected
This is Glenda. She's one of my near and dear friends. Anyone who has met her knows she is sunshine! She is so upbeat, positive, and looks at the world from many different perspectives. She brings light to the dark, even when she too may be experiencing darkness.
She is a single mother of two great young men in her life that she would do anything for. She has worked as an ECE, and EA for I think 18 or 19 years, helping children and families in more ways than one can imagine. She took sabbaticals from work to go to university, she took full days of classes, she put her time in as a single mother while being in school and working. She recently graduated from Teacher's College and had hoped to be working fairly quickly after graduating, but due to current politics and budget cuts to education, there have not been many opportunities for her to get back to work until two weeks ago. She was scheduled for an interview! How exciting! Finally, all this hard work is paying off...
Until this past week, she experienced a stroke. I visited her today, and my heart hurts. I know how giving she is, and I know I do not have the ability to make everything okay for her. But I know our community, and I know her community is even larger.
I am setting up this GoFundMe to help Glenda get back on her feet. She's helped all of us one way or another over time, and this time it's for her. My goal for this and her is to ensure that she is not financially strained and stressed to the point where she cannot focus on healing.
Some things that come to mind are housing, transportation, telephone, any costs associated with making her home more accessible to her. Getting to and from medical appointments, which I am sure there will be plenty. The recovery from a stroke may take months to regain everyday skills.
If Glenda has touched your life at some point with her kindness, please consider donating to help get her back on her feet, so we can see her light everywhere up with her smile again!
Thank you for reading this and sharing!! <3
