Coach Mel, our kickboxing instructor at Lamorinda Jiu-Jitsu, has made a tremendous impact on our children by teaching discipline, confidence, and camaraderie. She recently learned she needs a medical procedure that will require her to step away from coaching for a few weeks to a couple of months. This GoFundMe is a collective effort from our community of parents and families to support her during recovery. Funds raised will help cover her living expenses and ensure financial stability while she’s unable to coach. Any contribution, no matter how small, shows our appreciation for her dedication. Let’s come together to uplift Coach Mel so she can return fully recuperated and ready to inspire again!
