<div>Our dear friend Michele is facing an unimaginable challenge as her daughter, Takara, has been diagnosed with cancer. Takara will need to remain in Sacramento until she’s strong enough to come home and, even then, will require frequent trips back for ongoing treatments.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As a dedicated mom and independent contractor, Michele’s sole income depends on her work in the salon. With no PTO or financial cushion, being away from her clients to care for Takara creates an overwhelming financial burden for her and her family.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>To know Michele is to love Michele. She has a heart of gold and is always the first to offer help, support, or whatever she has to anyone in need. Her love, generosity, and selflessness inspire everyone around her. Michele is not just an incredible woman but a Mom we all look up to.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now, Michele needs our help. This GoFundMe has been set up to ease the financial strain on her family during this heartbreaking time. Every donation—no matter how big or small—will go directly toward supporting Michele so she can focus on what matters most: being there for Takara.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this post to spread the word. And most importantly, please keep Michele, Takara, and their family in your thoughts and prayers.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for showing love and support to someone who has always given so much to others. Together, we can make a difference for this amazing family.

</div>
