Krystal Fighting Terminal Cancer
Donation protected
Life can change in an instant.
On the 30th May 2023, My life took an unexpected turn, Initially brushing off stabbing pains, that brought me to my knees, as nothing more than a food intolerance and nothing serious. Progressively as the pain intensified, over a few weeks to an unmanageable level, that’s when I was evacuated from Yulara to Alice Springs, guided by the compassionate hands of the Royal Flying Doctors Service.
In the unfamiliar walls of Alice Springs Hospital, I underwent a series of tests. That’s when I knew it was something serious. I was woken up later that night by a doctor who’s words I will never forget
“Krystal, I've got bad news…. You have cancer."
The weight of those words, accompanied by my question of "How do you know?" and the doctor's response, "It's everywhere," shook me to my core.
May 30th, 2023, forever etched in my memory, marked as the day of my cancer diagnosis. Metastatic bowel cancer—the cruel bastard I now face. It's a journey that demands my strength, resilience, and unwavering determination.
But the true weight of my struggle lies not in my own pain, but the potential loss for my 12-year-old son, Maison. A vulnerable child who may miss out on the love and presence of his mother. Maison witnessing the toll that this disease is and will take on me is already challenging. He yearns for my warmth, guidance, and unwavering love—a love that cancer threatens to steal away.
In our journey together, We seek not only our strength but also the support of a caring community. Help us spend more time doing the things that we love together so that I can be the best for Maison showing up with out added stress of finacial hardship and enjoy the time we have left together I invite you all to gather as a compassionate community, enveloping Maison and myself in a circle of support.
Each donation, each act of kindness serves as a lifeline, preserving the precious bond between mother and son and offering hope for a brighter future.
With Love and Gratitude,
