“Dear PoPville,
Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out to send mail to my mom, and thank you to anyone who donated to her GoFundMe as well. My family and I appreciate your love and generosity! Receiving love for my mom means a lot, and weighs heavily in a time when there are not only rough times personally, but nationally/globally too.
Since last writing in, my mom remains hospitalized at UPMC Montefiore in Pittsburgh, PA, although set backs have become short lived and improvements have become longer lasting.
July 16th will mark 5 months of hospitalization. There are not concrete discharge plans, but there is more frequent conversation indicating she is arriving closer to a time where she will be able to go to a facility for physical therapy…and then arrive to the homebound stretch!
If interested in sending mail to my mom, we have opened up a P.O. Box to receive letters and packages. Please feel free to use the following address:
Michelle Harkleroad
P.O. Box 5406
Johnstown, PA 15904
*My little sister (who will be 10 in August) has had to go much of the past 5 months without seeing our mom due to Covid and hospital regulations. If anyone is interested in sending her mail as well; her name is Paige.
For anyone able and interested in providing financial support for travel costs and medical bills, or who would like to follow along with my mom’s journey, please feel free to visit and share.
Much love to you all,
Clarissa”

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
