Support Liz's Fight Against Multiple Sclerosis

Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

Hey guys!!! My name is Nicole. Today I want to share Liz's story. I'm calling on all of you for backup. Our friend needs our help.

For eight difficult years, Liz was misdiagnosed with a stroke, enduring the physical and emotional toll without clear answers. Just five months ago, an MRI of her brain and spine finally provided some answers and revealed that Liz has Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a chronic, often debilitating, illness that has been the root of her struggles with balance, walking, her body being in extreme pain, with weakness, speech issues and extreme fatigue.

Despite her initial resilience in bouncing back from the diagnosis, Liz was recently blind-sided with a severe relapse, resulting in another hospitalization, unable to walk without assistance, and the need for long-term rehabilitation.

Liz has always been an independent entrepreneur, a strong mama to her 3 daughters Articia, Belit and Ravel. Liz has always put her family first and they do the same for her. She is a staff and family member to us at the Church Cantina, her role is a part of our success. She is a close friend whom we all love very much. She is also a devoted sister to Ang & Jen, a loving girlfriend to Elliot & cat mom! She is the glue in all of our lives, has been there for us and probably some of you.

The path to recovery can be scary and unknown. With unpaid work days accumulating rapidly, as well as numerous appointments and therapy sessions necessary for her healing, the stress of trying to keep herself and family afloat is the last thing she should have to worry about.

Your generous donations will go directly towards alleviating the financial loss that Liz has suffered and will continue to face. This will allow Liz to focus on her recovery and be less cause for stress while regaining her strength. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal and provides Liz with the hope and encouragement she needs.

Let's rally as a community to uplift Liz and her family during this challenging time. I know it's a big ask, but seriously, anything you can do would mean the world to her.
