Leslie has been a source of unconditional love and support for my brother Perry for the past decade. Despite facing her own challenges as a senior, Leslie visited Perry every day, bringing food she purchased herself, cooking, cleaning, and providing companionship. They shared simple joys, like watching Judge Judy together, and through it all, Leslie was his lifeline. Perry struggled with addiction and lost a leg in a devastating car accident, but Leslie never wavered in her care, even when he was difficult to be around. Her selfless compassion and dedication made a profound difference in his life.

Recently, Perry passed away from a stroke, and at the same time, Leslie lost both of her jobs as a caregiver and waitress. The loss has left her in deep grief and facing an uncertain future. She is now struggling to pay rent, buy food, and cover medical bills while she searches for new work. Leslie is frightened about what comes next, but her spirit remains strong. She has always been lively, kind, and generous to everyone she meets, and she hopes to return to caregiving and waitressing once she is back on her feet.

This fundraiser is to help Leslie through this difficult time, providing her with the support she needs to cover basic expenses and find stability. Any contribution will make a real difference for someone who has given so much to others.
