🍽️ Supporting Aires During Recovery Our family is preparing for Aires’ upcoming surgery on April 2nd. She will be undergoing a double mastectomy with reconstruction, and while we are hopeful and optimistic, the recovery period will require rest, healing, and support. Many friends, family members, and coworkers have asked how they can help, so we created this page to coordinate meals and support during her recovery. One of the most helpful ways to support right now is helping ensure meals are taken care of while Aires focuses on healing. How You Can Help 🍴 Option 1: Uber Eats Gift Cards Uber Eats gift cards allow us to order meals when needed and keep things flexible during recovery. For visibility and easy sharing, we’ve created a PowerPaks page where journal updates, instant messaging, doctor's appointments are tracked for line of sight: Link: https://app.mypowerpak.com/invite/DA24pJ1HXiOdytKwoX6L/fklrhOKrEcSFMO2bGvA3 🥗 Option 2: Provide a Meal (Local Friends & Family) If you are local and would like to drop off a meal, you can sign up for an available date on the calendar. Drop-off meals are especially helpful during the first few weeks after surgery when mobility will be limited. Most Important Your encouragement, prayers, and kind messages mean just as much as meals. We are incredibly grateful for the support surrounding Aires and our family during this time. Thank you for helping care for her while she focuses on healing. With gratitude, The Family 💗
