Hi, my name is Amy, and I am raising funds for my friend, Ray. A frontline nurse during the early days of the COVID pandemic, Ray volunteered to work in the drive-thru testing tents. She thought it was better for her to volunteer there because she was healthy, single, and without children. Little did she know in those early days how the virus would terrorize her, long after people went back to living as they did before. Suffering from Long COVID, she has lived through several severe health issues and has endured many treatments and surgeries. Ray has had a series of recent misfortunes, including losing the job she loved and moving to a new state. Establishing herself in Colorado and securing permanent housing has been challenging due to her limited funds. Ray needs extensive dental work due to her Long COVID illnesses and Ehler's Danlos Syndrome, which are weakening and decaying her teeth. Due to EDS, her only option is dental implants. Funds raised here will help Ray to pay off the movers, get the dental implants, find permanent housing, and get more reliable employment. Let's help this animal lover, nurse, and dog trainer get out of a tough situation and back on her feet.
