We are reaching out to ask for your support in helping someone who means the world to us—Carla, our beloved advisor for the Junge City of Buckeye Girls State. Carla has dedicated so much of her life to uplifting young women, empowering us to find our voices, and guiding us through one of the most impactful leadership experiences we’ll ever have. Her passion, wisdom, and kindness have left a lasting mark on every girl who has been fortunate enough to work with her. Recently, Carla received the devastating news that she has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. As she begins this incredibly difficult journey, we want her to know she’s not facing it alone. We are setting up this GoFundMe to help ease some of the financial burdens that come with her diagnosis—medical bills, travel for treatment, and time away from work. This is our way of giving back to someone who has given so much of herself to us. Any amount helps, and every donation shows Carla that the strength of the community she’s built is right here, standing with her. Thank you for supporting Carla and lifting her up in this fight.
