<div>Hi, our names are Debbie Bastiaanssen and Karen Guy. We are fundraising for our colleague Michael Craddock: A Pillar of the Real Estate Community, a Volunteer, and a Dear Friend.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dear Friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re reaching out to our community to rally around a beloved friend and dedicated colleague, Mike Craddock. Many of you know Mike as a member of REMAX Kelowna, a steadfast presence in our real estate community, and an avid and long time volunteer on the COR Committee. He is always ready to lend a helping hand, share his expertise, and support our town. Now, Mike needs our help!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, Mike has been facing severe complications from diabetes, resulting in the difficult decision to amputate one leg below the knee in November. This, combined with injuries to both of his legs and a recent hand surgery, has left him unable to work for the past six months. Unfortunately, it is still uncertain how much longer he will be off work. This sudden turn of events has placed a heavy burden on him and his family. The challenges they are facing extend far beyond the physical and emotional; the financial strain is real and immediate. Mike has spent years pouring his heart into his work and our community, always going above and beyond to make a difference. Now, we have an opportunity to give back.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mike’s family is struggling with mounting expenses, and they need our support more than ever. Any contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in helping them meet the demands of daily life, medical expenses, and essential needs during this difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition to financial support, let’s come together to offer our emotional and logistical assistance. If you have the capacity to offer any assistance or just checking in with Mike to offer words of encouragement. Every small gesture can help lighten their load. Together, we can amplify our impact and show Mike that he is not alone in this fight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s show Mike the same kindness, compassion, and dedication he’s shown all of us. Together, we can make sure he feels the love and support of the community he’s given so much to over the years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing by Mike and his family in their time of need.
</div>
