Floyd Fund- Let's help Kaitlin!!

Donation protected
Since she was very young, Kaitlin has been a brittle diabetic and constantly dealing with health problems. She was hospitalized often as a kid and sick for the majority of her childhood. Finally, in April of 2016, she received a pancreas transplant that would put her on track to a more normal life. No more hospitalizations. No more insulin.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. After the transplant, Kaitlin's medical issues and constant pain continued for years. Overcoming several complications, abdominal surgeries, medication adjustments and tons of disheartening life events, she finally seemed to be doing “okay.” Then the news came that the medications she takes to prevent her body from rejecting her new organ had given her skin cancer. Stage 3C melanoma. A new fight. In preparation for the treatment that lie ahead of her, Kait had to stop taking these meds. This April, her body began rejecting and she had to have the pancreas removed. Her seventh abdominal surgery. More pain. She is back to square one and recovering from surgery and is now able to start her treatment for melanoma.

Dealing with illness and setbacks her whole life, Kaitlin was still able to obtain multiple degrees in nursing and has dedicated her life to caring for others and their loved ones. Through all the trauma and personal chaos she has experienced, she strives to make people laugh with her tenacious humor and unbelievable spirit. The only thing bigger than her personality is her love for Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.

Kaitlin is currently out of work and lives alone with no financial support. She’s already been through a lifetime of misery and hasn’t even begun cancer treatment yet. Kait is the first to help a friend in need and always takes care of the people she loves. All she dreams of now is being healthy, getting back to work, and going to her beloved Bills games. With not a lot of money coming in and the payments piling up, we would like for her to have one less thing to worry about. Kaitlin has spent her life fighting through pain and supporting others, and now it’s time we support her!
