We are organizing this fundraiser for our friend, colleague, parent, and community member, Sarahi, a classified employee at Franklin Elementary. Her daughter, Khristine, in addition to having to undergo orthopedic treatment for her legs, has been diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease  (not the syndrome) and is facing numerous rounds of infusions as she courageously fights this horrible disease. Each transfusion costs $35K, of which insurance covers 80%, leaving Sarahi and her family with a debt of $7K each treatment. Sarahi and her son also have medical conditions that sometimes leave Sarahi unable to work, and the medical bills continue to mount. We are asking for your help today to ease the extreme financial stress on Sarahi and her family so that they can concentrate on her daughter's brave battle against Irritable Bowel Disease.
