Niorka and her husband, Elliot, have faced a series of health challenges over the past three months that have deeply affected their family. Elliot suffered a blood clot in his leg, which kept him out of work at Publix for two months and now limits him to light duty. Niorka, who works as a housekeeper in Palm Beach, underwent a complicated surgery six weeks ago and continues to travel back and forth to her doctor in Miami. Just yesterday, she learned she won’t be able to return to work for at least six more weeks, and she’s worried her job may not be held for her.

This sweet couple is doing their best to care for their young daughter, Isabella, while facing mounting financial pressures. Rent is due, food costs are rising, and the uncertainty of their employment has made things even harder. I’ve known Niorka for over ten years and love her like a daughter. I’ve been bringing dinners and helping where I can, but they need more support right now to get through this difficult time.

Niorka is the kind of person who would give someone the shirt off her back. She’s always been kind and loving, supporting her family and helping others whenever she can. When she’s able to return to work, I know she’ll continue to give back to her community and support her family. Any help will make a real difference for Niorka, Elliot, and Isabella as they work to get back on their feet.
