Special Request to Donate Leave to Employee
This is a special request for donated leave for Janet Lee, a PDP analyst currently in EWIS. Janet became suddenly ill last August and her condition has not improved following months of treatment. Her doctors have advised her to give the treatment more time to work in hopes of avoiding risky surgery. Janet has nearly exhausted all options for acquiring leave, including advanced sick leave and FMLA. Please consider donating annual leave to Janet in order to enable her to focus on getting better. For further information, contact Sara Olds at oldss@gao.gov or 202-512-9648.
