For over 30 years, our friend and coworker Lisa has given her heart to all of us. Her dedication to the comfort and well-being of coworkers, friends, and family has been unwavering, and Lisa has consistently alerted us to the needs of others, whether it was encouraging us to help someone get counseling, organizing fundraisers, or rallying support for a colleague. Lisa is passionate, aware, and steadfast in helping others become their best.
Now, Lisa is the one in need of support. After years of generous care, her heart needs to rest, and thanks to the modern miracle of science, Lisa can receive a new, fully functioning heart. We are optimistic that Lisa will continue to inspire us with courage and positivity, looking forward to brighter days ahead because of the kindness of our community. However, the journey ahead will require Lisa to step away from work for at least a year to face the challenges of recovery, and we wish to ease some of her financial burden so she can focus on healing.
As valued members of our community, your help will truly make a difference. Together, we can support Lisa in this time of need and help her look forward to a future filled with hope and gratitude. Here are a few ways you can help:
1. Join us at Casa Tina’s every Monday, June 1st, June 8th, June 15th, June 22nd, and June 29th. Simply dine with us, and 20% of sales will be donated directly to Lisa. Monday, June 22nd will feature a special evening with music, a 50/50 raffle, and more. Making Mondays a recurring date night at Casa Tina’s is a wonderful way to contribute to Lisa’s well-being.
2. Donate through our GoFundMe page https://gofund.me/d25f5db59
Your support means the world to Lisa and to all of us. Please consider sharing this fundraiser with friends and family, expanding the circle of care. Lisa is deeply grateful for the compassionate community that surrounds her, and with your help, she is looking forward to brighter days ahead.
With gratitude and hope,
Tina, Javier, and our entire Casa Tina family
