Hello, my name is Tina Barber. I am a 59 year old wife, Mom and grandma and I live in Apalachin NY.

Life has taken an unexpected turn for me recently. I’ve suffered a heart issue, a stroke, and then pneumonia — 3 Hospital stays, challenges that have left me on medical leave and focusing fully on recovery.

While I am deeply grateful to be here and continuing to fight, the reality is that I will be going on no pay starting in October and have been on half pay this month.

This has created a very real financial burden on top of the emotional and physical healing I’m working through. I’m reaching out for support during this difficult time so I can focus on my health without the constant fear of falling behind on essential expenses.

Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference in helping me cover basic needs while I heal. Your kindness, prayers, and shares of this fundraiser mean more than words can express.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing with me through this journey.
