On Sunday, June 14th, our friend and coworker, Teri, experienced a heart attack and is now focused on surgery and recovery. Many of us have been asking how we can help, so this page was created to coordinate support during the weeks ahead. Teri lives alone and may need assistance with everyday tasks while she heals. Some of the ways you can help include providing a meal, sending a grocery or restaurant gift card, helping with errands, contributing toward unexpected expenses, or assisting with the care of her beloved dog Picasso, including walks and medication. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, will help ease the burden and allow Teri to focus on her recovery. If you're able to participate, thank you for helping us surround her with the care and support she deserves. Please respect Teri's privacy as she heals, and know that your thoughts, prayers, and well wishes are appreciated just as much as any practical support.
Please coordinate visits in advance. Drop-offs may be preferred depending on how Teri is feeling. Heart-healthy meals are appreciated. Lower sodium, lean proteins, vegetables, whole grains, and lighter meals are preferred. Single-serving or easily reheated meals are especially helpful since Teri lives alone. Assistance with her dog, including walks and making sure medication is given, may be needed.
