Kristen's Cancer Treatment Campaign

Support my effort and donate now to help with my medical expenses!

As I navigate this unexpected journey, I find myself grappling with a whirlwind of emotions. The initial shock of the diagnosis left me feeling vulnerable and scared. I’ve always been the one to support others, and now I’m in a position where I need help. The thought of surgery looms over me, and I worry about the financial burden it will bring. With my surgery scheduled soon, I’ll be out of work for six weeks, which adds to my anxiety about how to manage the costs.

Become My Hero Today

In moments of quiet reflection, I think about the people in my life who have always been my pillars of strength—my family, friends, and fellow teachers. Their unwavering support has been a source of comfort during this tumultuous time. I realize how important it is to lean on those who care about me, and I am deeply grateful for every message, call, and gesture of kindness I’ve received. It reminds me that I am not alone in this fight.

As I prepare for surgery, I am filled with a mix of hope and fear. I hope for a successful outcome and the chance to return to my normal life, but I also fear the unknown. The thought of losing my kidney is daunting, yet I am determined to face whatever comes my way with courage. I know that healing is not just physical; it’s emotional too. Your support will not only assist with medical expenses but also provide me with the strength to focus on recovery and the journey ahead. Thank you for being there for me, for believing in me, and for helping me find the light in this challenging time.
