Hi, my name is Simmerly, and I am starting this Go Fund Me for my mother, Teresa Hardage. My mom has been a passionate and skilled massage therapist for many years. Her nurturing touch and healing hands have brought relief and comfort to countless individuals over the years. However, the unforeseen challenges of life have brought her to a crossroads.

On November 21st, Teresa is scheduled to undergo neck fusion surgery, a procedure that is essential for her health and well-being. This surgery will necessitate a significant recovery period, spanning at least three months, during which she won't be able to work.

What makes this situation even more challenging is the uncertainty about whether Teresa will be able to return to her beloved profession as a massage therapist even after her recovery. This surgery has the potential to change the course of her career and her life as a whole.

In these trying times, my parents will face a financial burden, as they will have to rely solely on my dad's income for the foreseeable future. This sudden shift in income can be overwhelming, with monthly expenses, medical bills, and additional costs that need to be managed.

The purpose of this fundraiser is to support Teresa and my dad, Todd, during this difficult period. The funds raised will be used to cover the mounting medical bills and the cost of essential physical therapy sessions to aid Teresa's recovery. Moreover, they will help supplement my dad's income to ensure that they can manage their day-to-day expenses during this challenging time.

Your support and contributions will not only ease the financial strain on my parents but also provide much-needed emotional and moral support to Teresa during her recovery journey. Your kindness and generosity will play a pivotal role in helping my parents navigate these uncharted waters, and together, we can help Teresa heal and rebuild her life.

Your thoughts, well-wishes, and prayers are a powerful source of comfort and strength. Your collective support and prayers are much appreciated, and they hold the power to guide Teresa through her surgery, ensuring it goes well and sets her on the path to recovery. In your unity and love, you create a circle of warmth and positivity that envelops her, assuring her that she is not alone in this challenging journey. Together, we can believe in a successful surgery and a brighter future for Teresa. Thank you for your unwavering support.
