Dear Friends, as many of you now know, our dear friend and coworker, Annielyn, was found by her roommate in their apartment, having suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage (a bleeding brain aneurysm). She is likely to be in the hospital for several weeks recovering.

One way you can help is by signing up on the visitation calendar found here. (Calendar ID : 322790, Security code: 7283) Since she has no family in town and her husband is not allowed to travel into the United States to visit her at this time, we want to make sure she is not going through this alone. This will also help keep too many visitors from coming in one day.

Another very concrete way we can come together to support her is to help her with her expenses while she is unable to work. We all know how not only physically and mentally challenging becoming ill and hospitalized can be, but how it can take a toll on a person’s finances. Any amount will help.

Let’s come together and stand by our friend Annielyn.

With gratitude,

Christie del Castillo-Hegyi
