Help our favorite Gardiner first grade teacher!

Our names are Jeanne and Tammy and we work at the Gardiner School in Gardiner, Montana. Our very favorite first-grade teacher, Mrs. Bush is scheduled to have open heart surgery at the Mayo Clinic in early May. As you can imagine, the trip alone will be incredibly costly, with medical expenses on top of that. Mrs. Bush will also be taking 5+ weeks off of work in order to recover and be ready for school to start again in August. Total recovery could take 8-12 weeks. We are hoping to raise $8,000-10,000 to help Mrs. Bush and her family defray some of the costs of travel, hotel, car rental and gas expenses associated with the surgery in Minnesota. Any amount of support would be greatly appreciated.
