Manisha is an inspirational friend who has faced innumerable challenges in the nearly 15 years we have known her. She has always managed to triumph over them through her indomitable spirit. In spite of her numerous health, financial and family challenges she has always had a positive and giving spirit. She is now facing a new road block with a recent job loss and surgery to remove malignant growth on her thyroid. We want to request all of her friends and well wishers in the Triangle and beyond to generously help us meet our goal to support her so that she can recover from her surgery (which happened on 8/23/21) and get back on her feet.
