Help Us Support Sarah During This Difficult Time
My name is MaryJane Vargas Rios, founder and owner
of MJ Treatment, and I have had the pleasure of
working with Sarah for more than a decade.
Over those ten years, Sarah has become much more than a colleague.
She is someone I know, care deeply about, and important part of our MJ
Treatment family.
Today, Sarah is facing a serious health challenge that has changed her life unexpectedly. At just 34 years old, she will need to step away from work for the foreseeable future as she focuses on her health and treatment.
The Challenge
Sarah's work is her source of income. When she has to step away from
work, that income stops-but her everyday expenses don't.
Rent or housing, utilities, groceries, transportation, and other basic living expenses continue to come due each month. At a time when Sarah should be able to focus her energy on taking care of herself, the financial uncertainty creates another burden she shouldn't have to carry alone.
How We Can Help
That's why we are coming together to raise $20,000 for Sarah.
The goal is to provide Sarah with financial support for her essential living expenses while she is unable to work. This isn't about making her life easy or taking away every financial concern. It's about giving her some breathing room during a period when her circumstances have changed through no fault of her own.
The Gap We Need to Close
Sarah needs time to focus on her health, but she cannot simply put
her financial responsibilities on hold.
That is the gap we're trying to close.
With enough support, we can help bridge the difference between the income Sarah can no longer earn right now and the everyday expenses she still has to meet.
You Can Make a Difference
This is where you come in.
A donation to this fundraiser isn't just a contribution toward a
$20,000 number. It can mean a utility bill paid, groceries on the
table, transportation to an appointment, or simply one less financial
worry weighing on Sarah during an already difficult time.
Whether you contribute $25, $50, $100, or whatever amount is
comfortable for you, you are helping give Sarah something she
desperately needs right now: time and financial breathing room to
focus on herself and her health.
And if you're unable to donate, you can still make an enormous difference by sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, coworkers, and community.
Thank You for Standing With Sarah
There is no product or service being offered in exchange for your
contribution. What we hope to give supporters is something different:
the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the life
of someone who needs our help right now.
After more than ten years of knowing Sarah, I know how much she means
to the people around her. Now, I'm asking our community to come
together and remind her that she doesn't have to face this difficult
chapter alone.
Thank you for reading Sarah's story, for donating if you're able, and for sharing this fundraiser. Every contribution and every share brings us one step closer to our $20,000 goal.
