Katelin's Army
Donation protected
Hi my name is Jess Thompson. I am Katelin Shipp's older sister. I have created this gofund me to try and help my little sister why she focuses on fighting the greatest fight not only of her life but for her life.
To help you know who and why you are donating too if you choose to do so I will tell you a little bit about katey.
Katelin is currently 20yrs old soon to be 21 on the 30th of Jan 2017.
She is currently in the icu of John hunter hospital. She has cystic fibrosis which she was born with.
Katey has had to struggle every single day of her life and she has always done so with a smile on her face and love in her heart. Life hasnt been easy but she has always kept fighting no matter what.
Katelin is at a stage in her life where in order to lead a fulfilling life she needs to have a double lung transplant asap. It is life or death.
She is currently attatched to countless breathing machines to keep oxygen in her lungs and try and drain c02 from them as it is dangerously high atm. A healthy persons c02 levels should range between 25% and 35%. Katelins levels reached 90% on monday night and are currently sitting at 74%. The levels have been fluctuating even with the machines helping. Not too mention the machine that helps lower the c02 levels also puts her in excruciating pain at the same time.
Like everybody else life cant stop for katelin and she still has bills that need to be paid and now has added expenses due to being in hospital.
Katelin lives in dubbo and will either be in Newcastle hospital or fingers crossed Sydneys transplant hospital if and hopefully when she is added to the top of the transplant list. Living away from home and family also costs a lot of money.
As katelins family and army for health we are reaching out for anybody that could donate anything even a dollar to help katey with the cost of living while she is in hospital and for once she can finally get home and back on her feet. This way she doesn't need to worry about money and can focus 100% on fighting this fight.
Katelin is not one to have her hand out and works hard for everything she has and we all really appreciate any donations and kind words and support you may be able to offer her atm.
We are all katelins army and want nothing more than to see her make a full recovery xx
Thank you everybody xx
