Hi, my name is Cassie Orduno and I am fundraising on behalf of my friend, Shirley Hillyard. Shirley was badly injured in a car accident. If you know Shirley, you know she is a fighter. She is facing this situation the way she always does- with bravery, determination and optimism, but the truth is, she faces a long road to recovery, not to mention a mountain of debt resulting from her medical care. When she comes home, Shirley will need a care assistant, help with bills while she is unable to work, and assistance in paying her medical debt.

Shirley is truly one of the most generous people I've ever known. She is a friend to the end. She is quick to volunteer her time, and always gives freely when someone needs money, help, art or a helping hand. This time, Shirley needs our help. I ask that you give a little if you've got a little to give. It would mean the world to Shirley, and to me.

Thank you.
