As Charlene’s sister , Rebecca , I am reaching out to her friends, family and community to ask for your support to help her with her living expenses while she recovers in the hospital from surgery after contracting a serious infection . We are so thankful she will be okay and make a full recovery, but this recovery will be lengthy and she will not to able to return work right away .

Charlene has been instrumental in advocating and supporting some of the most vulnerable members of our community. She gives a lot to her community and cares deeply . She is also fiercely independent and is now facing a challenging time where she needs to lean on the people that love and care for her . The amount will help cover her lost salary and care for the dogs while she is recovering.
