Support Dawn in Her Time of Need

In every community, there are those who bring light, laughter, and learning. Dawn Balk has been one of these rare souls in our lives. As an esteemed improviser and compassionate teacher at JEST Improv, Dawn has dedicated her life to uplifting others, spreading joy through her art, and teaching vital skills that go beyond the stage. Her commitment extends into profound community service, particularly in the realm of domestic violence prevention, where she has worked tirelessly to make a difference.

Recently, Dawn’s resilience was tested in ways most of us can only imagine. She lost her beloved husband to cancer, a devastating blow to her family. Dawn is now a single mother to a wonderful daughter who lives with a mental disability. Amidst grieving, Dawn is now facing another challenging chapter—she must move from her current home, adding financial and emotional stress to her already heavy load.

Why We Need Your Help:

Dawn has always been the first to step in and help others in their times of need. Now, it's our turn to give back to her. The funds raised here will directly support Dawn and her daughter during this transition. They will help cover the moving expenses and secure a new living situation where they can continue to heal and thrive.

Your Impact:

Your donation, no matter the size, will lighten Dawn’s burden and provide her with the same support she has so freely given to all of us over the years. It’s more than just a contribution; it’s a way to show Dawn that she is not alone, that we are here for her as she has been here for us.

Let’s come together to help Dawn maintain her and her daughter's stability and peace. Let’s ensure that Dawn can continue her invaluable work, which many of us have benefited from. We are reaching out to you—friends, family, and even strangers touched by similar stories—to join us in supporting a truly special person.

How You Can Help:

Donate: Every contribution helps, no matter how small.

Share: Spread the word on social media. The more people who see this campaign, the quicker we can reach our goal.

Send Love: Words of support can be just as valuable. Let Dawn know she’s not alone.

Together, we can make a significant difference in the life of someone who has dedicated her life to helping others. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.
