I'm setting this up on behalf of my friend Hope as she navigates a sudden and unexpected family situation. Her mom’s health changed very quickly, and everything that followed has brought major, unplanned transitions—especially while Hope is caring for her daughter from another state.

Many people have asked how they can help right now, and this felt like a simple, practical way to offer support. Any funds raised will help create some flexibility for things that may come up on short notice, including possible last-minute travel, and help ease the overall weight of this season for Hope and her family.

There’s absolutely no obligation at all. Any support, sharing, or kind thoughts are truly appreciated, and I know she is incredibly grateful for the care surrounding her.

Thank you for being here for them.

Michelle
