Hi I'm Jan. I'm raising money for a dear friend and coworker who is off on medical leave. Our coworker Val has been working at lakeland regional medical center for over 40 years. Val is a hard worker who always encourages her patients to do their very best. Recently she has had some health issues that made her unable to work for a few months. She is supposed to have surgery in the next few weeks and it is unknown when she will be able to get back to work. Our goal is to raise 7000$ to help her pay for medical expenses and insurance. Any contribution is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for helping with monetary contributions for our friend and coworker Val.
