2023 - Funeral bills, surprise surgery & more

Donation protected
Hi! My name is Kelly and it's been a difficult year with several emergencies, one after another. My mother passed away suddenly in an accident several months ago and she didn't leave much behind. I had to pay several thousand for the surprise funeral, the taxes on the house and other outstanding bills. She left behind a dog (the beauty in the pic) that's needed some vet bills covered over the year - the last was over $500! To round the year out, I was diagnosed with several masses in my abdomen that required prompt surgery for fear it was cancer in November. I ended up with an unexpected overnight hospital stay because of complications. Thank God I'm out of the hospital and doing well but ending the year with $5,000 in medical debt has placed me in a precarious place.

To that end, I asking any generous soul to help donate to cover all the unexpected costs 2023 left me. $8,000 will help me get back on our feet after a sad and finically challenging time. It will cover the hospital stay as well as cover the funeral costs. Thank you so much!
