Our good friend, Rachel Parrish, is one of the most kind and relentlessly generous people we know. She is a tireless wife, mother, teacher, art therapist, and friend who would do anything for anyone because her heart overpowers all her other instincts. She works exponentially more hours than she’s paid for because she can’t stand the thought of any of the students that she helps to work through anxiety, depression, and self-doubt going without the support she might offer.

Early this month she was struck by an inexperienced driver in a high-impact collision on her way to work. While blessed with the preservation of her life, she now carries the burden of recovering from herniated discs in her neck, a lingering concussion, and probable nerve damage that is making mobility difficult. The ambulance, myriad hospital tests, and treatment are proving to be incredibly costly. Please, if you know and love Rachel as much as I do (and even if you don’t know her), contribute as much as you can to assist her with the onslaught of medical bills. Every little bit will help.
