Crystal Simpson is my dear friend, and she’s facing an incredibly challenging time. Just a couple of weeks ago, her mother, Josephine Simpson, suffered a major stroke. Crystal has limited leave from work, but she’s been traveling from Washington to California to support her mother while also caring for her toddler. Josephine has always been a huge support to Crystal, and now Crystal is doing everything she can to be there for her family.

The funds raised will help Crystal cover daily essentials like food, gas, and other necessities as she navigates these difficult days. It will also allow her to fly between both states as needed, so she can continue to support her mother, her child, and her family. Crystal is balancing so much right now, and every bit of help will make a difference.

Any support you can give would mean the world to Crystal and her family during this difficult time. Your kindness and generosity will help ease the burden and allow Crystal to focus on what matters most—being there for her loved ones.
