Iwona Nieroda is a woman my family and I have known for several years. She embodies everything the American Dream represents: hard work, empathy, and creating a better life for her children. She never complains, never misses a day of work, and is an inspiration to us with her poise under pressure. Iwona has become part of our family and there isn't a visit to our house where she doesn't share a kind word, bring a treat for our children, or share stories and pictures about her family. In short, she is a person we all love and admire. Now, this American Dream is in peril because of an unfortunate accident involving her husband. There will be many bills and she needs her community now more than ever. This isn't a call to raise money for someone looking for an easy way out; this is a call to help an individual we all should be grateful to have as part of our lives. Please do what you can to help ease the burden of this amazing woman and her family.
