We are coming together to support our dear coworker and friend, Antoinette Townsend, during one of the most challenging times of her life. Just two weeks ago, Antoinette suffered a major stroke that required a week-long hospital stay. She is now in a rehabilitation center, where she faces a long and difficult road to recovery. At this time, Antoinette is unable to walk or get around independently, and her rehab process will take time, patience, and strength.

While she focuses on healing, Antoinette is also facing significant financial strain. As she waits for FMLA and benefits to take effect, she has fallen behind on essential expenses such as rent, household bills, utilities, and mounting medical costs. This unexpected medical emergency has placed a heavy burden on her during an already overwhelming time.

Antoinette works at Amazing Transformations in Voorhees, NJ, where she dedicates her heart and energy to the field of Autism and Special Education as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). Anyone who knows her knows she is one of the kindest, sweetest people you could ever meet. This work is not easy, but Antoinette shows up every day with compassion, patience, and a genuine love for the children she supports. We know she is deeply missing her work and the kids who mean so much to her.

We are asking for any support—no amount is too small—to help ease Antoinette’s financial stress so she can focus fully on what matters most right now: healing her body and regaining her strength. Let’s come together as a community and show Antoinette the same care and generosity that she gives every day to others. Thank you for donating, sharing, and keeping Antoinette in your thoughts and prayers as she works toward returning to what she does best—helping our kids.
