We are reaching out to you today to ask for your support for our beloved coworker and friend, Toni Zambri, who has recently been diagnosed with a very aggressive form of leukemia. Toni has been a part of our Blazing Kitchen family since 2022, but we first had the privilege of knowing her through her incredible work with Feed It Forward, where she gave her time and heart to help others as a key volunteer for many years. Toni's positivity and infectious laugh have made her a cherished member of our team. She is always there to lend a shoulder to cry on, offering unwavering support and kindness without judgment, even on the toughest of days.

After taking some time off in late August and September due to exhaustion, Toni told us the difficult news on November 15th that her health challenges were much more serious than anyone had imagined. With three children and a beloved granddaughter, Cece, whom she adores beyond words, Toni’s focus now needs to be on fighting this battle. She is in good spirits and cheerful as ever, but she started chemotherapy on November 26th, which has significantly lowered her energy.

We are asking for your help to ease her burden during this incredibly difficult time. Any donation, no matter how small, will go directly towards supporting Toni’s medical expenses and ensuring that she can focus on her recovery. It will also go to her rent, to ensure she has a place to return home to. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference for someone who has given so much to our community. Thank you for your kindness and support.
