Dear Friends,
We are Quinn and Jonathan and we are 7 years old. We are asking for your help for our two friends. Divina Lazar (14) and Makaela Lazar (16) have endured really tough times over the past few years. They lost their older brother Koa two years ago at the young age of 16. Koa was their role model and best friend. Shortly afterward, their mother who has been raising them on her own the past 10 years was diagnosed with Cushings disease. A rare debilitating disease that can be fatal if left untreated. Due to the immense pain she has not been able to work much the past few years. Their house is cold as they are now surviving the winter months on Vancouver Island and cannot afford heat.
Recently on November 17th Divina and Makaela’s mother had brain surgery to remove a tumour in hopes to reverse the disease. The surgery appears to have been a success however there is still a long road of recovery and unknowns ahead. Divina and Makaela are now currently home schooling as they are very worried about their mother's well being and they take turns caring of her. Children should not have to take care of their parents at such an early age.
Divina is super sporty. Skateboarding is her favorite sport and she has done very well taking it to a competitive level in the past. She use to play soccer and really enjoyed that as well. Makaela is artisitc and loves the sciences. She loves playing piano, violin and cooking and aspires to be a nuerologist.
Every kid deserves a bright future and the chance to smile so we are turning to your generous help to provide Divina and Makaela with some tools to get them excited about life again. Our goal is to raise enough money by Christmas Eve for our friends so they can afford rent, food and bills while their mom recovers which is expected to be roughly a year. With your help we hope to raise enough so our friends can attend a few sports and/or music lessons, receive the counselling they need to help with their social anxiety and the tutoring they need to get themselves back on track with their schooling. Divina and Makaela are hard working, smart and both hope to attend University after high school.

We are a couple of kids who see the need to help our friends who are also kids. We are willing to do whatever it takes to help Divina and Makaela get their sparkle back. Thank you very much for reading our letter and thank you for any contribution that you can afford. We are grateful for your help.
With thanks and love,
Quinn Lester-Coe & Jonathan Yeung
