Hello everyone,

Today, I'm reaching out to ask for help for someone who means the world to so many - a devoted single-mother of three beautiful girls, loving sister, daughter, aunt, niece, friend, and teacher. Samantha has dedicated her life to caring for others, both in her personal and professional life. She is a single-mother who works hard to care for her three girls, and she is also a beloved infant teacher. Before working as an infant teacher, Samantha worked as a CNA caring for seniors.

Now, Samantha is facing a difficult chapter in her life. While suffering severe pain in her back and legs, a visit to the ER on April 25th led to the discovery of a severe herniated disc with fragment that is leaning on her nerve and bladder. Due to the severity of the herniation, medication and physical therapy are not an option. Surgeons have already scheduled Samantha's surgery for Monday, May 5th. Unfortunately, this surgery will leave Samantha unable to work for at least an 8-week recovery period with physical therapy. As the sole provider for her family, this unexpected medical situation has put an immense financial strain on her household.

While Samantha focuses on healing and regaining her strength, the reality of rent, groceries, utility bills, car payments, and caring for her girls does not pause. Any contribution - big or small - will make a world of a difference for Samantha and her girls. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with others who might be able to help. Every donation will go to Samantha's living expenses. Let's remind Samantha that she is not alone.

Thank you for taking the time to read her story, and for any way you are able to help.

With gratitude,

Samantha's Family
