Life-Changing Surgery: Help Matalee Return to the Classroom

Thank you for being here. I’m three weeks into recovery from thoracic outlet syndrome surgery—an important step toward getting my health and mobility back. Recovery is expected to take 6–9 months, with a full return to work likely by fall 2026. 

In the meantime, I’m navigating my inability to work as well as anticipating reduced income while facing ongoing medical bills and basic living expenses. 

I’m doing everything I can to manage, but I could use a little help to bridge the gap. Every share & contribution—no matter the size—means the world to me and makes a real difference. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support, encouragement, and generosity.

Thank you.
