Every morning, I watch Helena push her heavy cart through the streets, selling sweet chocolate covered bananas for just two dollars all while fighting through crippling shoulder and arm pain that never lets up.
When I asked what she wanted for Christmas, she broke down. I just want to stop working so my body can heal, she whispered.
Here's what broke my heart: when I bought all her products and gave her a cash gift, her first instinct was to immediately offer me one of her treats back. That's who Helena is pure light, even in her darkest pain.
She's not asking for a vacation. She's asking for a chance to let her injured body recover.
I'm asking you to help me give Helena what she deserves. Every dollar goes directly to her medical care and living expenses so she can finally rest without pain. Let's make her Christmas wish come true.
Please donate now and share this with everyone you know. Helena's selfless spirit deserves to be seen.
