Donation protected

(Please find a full update below)
We are grateful to each and everyone one of you for your well wishes and love. We are also asking for your help in meeting our fundraising goal. K’s recovery will effect a significant loss of income and leave her financially vulnerable. While Koula and her family are doing everything possible to help her during this time, support from friends and loved ones will be essential.
Here are ways you can help:
Share Koula’s GoFundMe page: Please consider sharing this fundraiser and update with your networks. We hope those touched by her story will make donations to help us meet our goal.
Local fundraiser: Giving season is upon us, and Koula’s story is a local cause that communities in the DMV can rally around. Lemonade or hot chocolate stands, a booth at a local block party, or a night at your church or temple dedicated to Koula can contribute to her recovery funds.

Dear Family, Friends & Community,
We are writing to share the urgent situation of our dear friend, Koula, who suffered a life-threatening medical emergency on Tuesday, October 1. Koula is in immediate need of financial assistance to cover critical expenses and to ensure the care of her daughter during this challenging time.
Koula’s privacy is a top priority. She and her family have chosen not to share specific details of her circumstances, and she is not able to accept visitors at this time. Your support is deeply needed and appreciated. The funds raised will go directly toward covering her mounting bills and medical costs, as well as providing necessary care and support for her daughter.
In a few weeks' time, we hope to be able to follow up with more details on her road to recovery and other ways to contribute and support her and her daughter.
A beloved mother, daughter, sister, partner, cousin, coach and friend, Koula’s strong and one-of-a-kind spirit has helped her overcome the early obstacles of this crisis. If you are able, please consider making a financial donation. No amount is too small, and every bit helps as Koula and her family navigate this crisis.
We are incredibly grateful for your kindness and generosity. Thank you for keeping Koula and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
With appreciation,
Patty, on behalf of Koula and her family.
