Teresa has been my friend and coworker for over five years, and I’ve known her even longer. She is one of the most hardworking and generous people I know, always willing to lend a hand to others in need. This year has been incredibly difficult for Teresa. In June, she lost her mother, who had been living with Teresa and her husband. While still grieving that loss, Teresa’s husband became seriously ill and was hospitalized in July. For the past five months, he struggled with various health issues, and Teresa did everything she could to support him while managing her own grief and responsibilities.

This past Friday, Teresa faced another heartbreaking loss when her husband passed away. She is now left without immediate family in the area and is struggling to cover the costs of his cremation and a memorial service. Teresa has always been there for others, and now she needs our help more than ever. Any support would mean the world to Teresa right now as she tries to honor her husband’s memory and find a way forward during this incredibly challenging time.
