Hello everyone! My name is Rachel, and I'm here to share a story of friendship and support. Caitlin, my wonderful friend, has been an unwavering source of strength for me during a challenging period in my life. Now, it's my turn to be there for her. 

Caitlin, in addition to being an incredible friend, is also a devoted stepmom to five boys, all while being supported by her loving and caring husband Daniel. 

Recently, Caitlin underwent exploratory endometriosis surgery, which revealed the need for two additional surgeries to combat this relentless disease. She has surgery scheduled August 21st and again August 30th. To add to the difficulty, she's also grappling with a recent diagnosis of fibromyalgia, leading to medication adjustments that have forced her out of work. This has caused a huge burden on her and her family as she has been the breadwinner of the family. 

As Caitlin focuses on her health, the medical and household bills are piling up, creating an overwhelming burden. Not to mention out of pocket medical expenses due prior to surgery, which has been 3 grand alone. That's why I've launched this GoFundMe campaign—to pay forward the kindness and support Caitlin has shown me by rallying our community around her during this challenging time. 

Your support, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful impact in helping Caitlin and her family access the care and support they need. Let's join together to show Caitlin that she's not alone in this fight. Thank you for your kindness and generosity!

Rachel
