Tier and I have been sisters/friends for over 4 decades. I can say unequivocally, she is one of the kindest and most compassionate people I know, willing to lend a hand to anyone in need. Many of you know and most of you don't, Tier has been walking through the worst years of her life thus far, experiencing much personal loss in a few years. In the last 3 years: She lost her store and only source of income due to the SARS CoV-2 lockdown and the necessity of becoming the primary caregiver for both of her parents, who were in failing health; she injured herself severely in a kayaking accident, and had to endure surgery to repair several disks in her spine (laminectomy and microdiscectomy). Unfortunately, the surgery did not resolve her injuries and she continues to have restricted mobility and constant excruciating pain. She will have to have another major surgery in a few months. She is also in need of dental care and doesn't have dental insurance.

Since she was self-employed, she doesn't have access to government disability resources and her insurance is minimal, at best. She has been soldiering completely alone through the care and subsequent deaths of her parents; first her Dad, and a few weeks ago, her Mom, both passing within 4 months of each other.

As the executor of her parent's estates, she has immense weight on her. Thus, on top of exorbitant medical costs, she now has legal fees. She has absolutely zero income coming in and is living off very meager savings. The medical bills keep coming in, and she doesn't know how she will pay them. If you know Tier, you also know how stubborn and independent she is. She would never ask for this kind of help.

As her best friend of many, many decades, I am. She is at an impasse; she is tired and overwhelmed. She desperately needs her Tribe. Please help if you can. Every little bit helps her to begin to heal and start the new life which awaits her after this seemingly never-ending storm passes.

Many thanks.
