Dear Family & Friends-

I am at a place right now in my life that I need your assistance.

You see, in my chosen life, ‍ I am a public school teacher ‍and a single mom of 12 years❤️‍

I worked my way through a divorce and graduate school ‍‍and met the calling ☎️ to become a teacher ‍and share my gifts as an educator.

I choose to become a teacher because it is my true calling to be a guardian and guide to children and as they journey through life.

It didn’t make a lot of money, but this did not bother me and God always caught me and sustained me financially.

However, I’m at a place in my life where I am in need help.

I’m in over my head ‍and I need funds to assist me in doing the work of getting well. Doing the work of restoring my spirit.

Doing the work of providing peace ‍and relaxation ‍while my body heals❤️‍.

‼️❣️Unfortunately, my being sick and the cost of my medical treatments have exhausted my saving and I need to open up and ask for my family and friends to assist me financially during this time of healing.

If you can help me, in any way, with the work of getting well and healing my spirit, heart and body, would you please help support my family and in any way, large or small ⁉️

I cannot afford my care, my rent (over 3K/month), my car payment, and my current bills right now while I’m out on medical leave and behind from the past 2 years of medical care.

The medical leave that is provided by my employment is sufficient and kind, however, the medical bills and funds required to get well is too much for my wallet.

I have been sick now, in lesser forms, for over two years. Last year, I missed over 30 days of work due to illness and appointments regarding my care.

I have EGPA or Churg Strauss, a very rare autoimmune disorder that can, and has, attacked my organs.

I am now facing insulin resistance, adrenal fatigue, and a growth pericardial cyst ❤️‍on my heart that needs to be addressed immediately. I have excellent doctors that I trust and believe will get to the bottom of this. 

It has previously attacked my lungs and sinuses. ‍

In the future, when, and if, my financial scope changes, I will return every single penny, tenfold, if I can and if I am able. However, this is where I am at today. 

Thank you for considering. Your generosity of spirit is meaningful to my recovery.

I have a long road to go, with the expected heart procedure another medical leave later this fall (November - January). 

I have been previously unaware of how expensive it is to be sick in America as a single, working mother, ‍‍‍and teacher in this very expensive area of Southern California️️️.

My workplace has been wonderful in working ‍ with me, and caring for me, and helping me plan to mitigate the needs of my health, my family, the students in my classroom. 

This is more about me… 

My resources are tapped out from two years of trying to stay a float financially and, metaphorically, drowning from the financial weight of being sick, being a single mother, and caring for myself and my family in this very expensive area of Southern California. 

Thus, I need the financial resources to get well.

Thank you to my friends, my family, and acquaintances for considering.

My issues exposed, it’s actually very scary and raw.

Thank you for considering‍.

Blessings,

Jennifer Lynn (Lavik) Lippold
