Donate to Kirsten's Final Surgery and Recovery

Hello, my name is Kirsten. For many years, I lived with a serious neck injury with 4 crushed discs and my spinal cord being deeply injured. I lived in incredible pain every day which made it difficult to work. It was causing me to not function well as it was slowly paralyzing me. Luckily, I found an incredible Neurosurgeon who performed a miraculous surgery fixing my neck completely. However, it took 3 years for the neck to heal after surgery, leaving me very weakened during this process.

In just the past 6 months, I've finally felt better again, back to my normal self. However, I wasn't able to work much during these years and I'm raising my daughter by myself. I need to have one more surgery on my lower back now to make me back to normal 100%. As I prepare to have another surgery, I will not be able to work at all for several months after surgery and I'm still catching up on my medical bills from the first surgery.

Thus, I am needing the generosity of my community of friends and family to assist me and my daughter get through this time of my life where I'm still recovering financially from years of limited work due to my debilitating neck injury and preparing for yet another surgery so I can be whole again and be able to fully work again in the future and take care of my little family. I would deeply appreciate any help during this time. It's been a long road from injury to recovery but I'm almost there and would greatly appreciate your help getting me to the finish line!

I look forward to being able to run again one day or bike or backpack, but right now I'm happy to just get through the day in as little pain as possible. But soon after surgery, I'll be pain-free and able to live life to the fullest again. Thank you for your support.
