Hi everyone, I wanted to reach out and ask for a little support as Audra is finally having ankle surgery after dealing with this injury for years. We’re really hopeful this will bring her some long-term relief, but the first couple of weeks of recovery will be tough. If you’re able, we could really use help with things like: • dropping off a meal (nothing fancy—simple is perfect) • helping with childcare (rides, short visits, etc.) • occasional pet care (walks or check-ins) One small request—her house is pretty small and she has dogs, so to keep things calm and manageable during recovery, we’re asking that people avoid coming inside unless it’s truly necessary. Porch drop-offs or quick handoffs outside would help a lot. If you’re open to helping, just let me know what works for you, and I can help coordinate so it’s easy. Thank you all so much—we really appreciate it. Warmly, Casey Mericle
