Help Debbie Heal: Support Her Surgery & Recovery
Donation protected
Hello Dear Yoga Community,
My name is Heidi Lichte. Debbie Kayatt is a friend of mine that I had the joy of working with at Desert Song for many years. I’m reaching out to rally support for her as she prepares for thyroid removal surgery on April 1st.
Many of you know that she has been managing hyperthyroidism for years, and after working closely with her endocrinologist, it has become clear that surgery is the best path forward.
While this is not the outcome Debbie had hoped for, she is facing it with strength and courage. As an entrepreneur and yoga teacher, she relies on her work to support herself—and with time off for recovery, she could use our help.
How You Can Support Debbie:
- Donate – Any amount helps cover medical expenses, lost income, and recovery care.
- Share this fundraiser – Spreading the word makes a huge difference.
- Meals or errand check-ins – A simple meal drop-off or quick errand can be of great help.
Debbie’s biggest concern is her voice, as the thyroid is located near the vocal cords. While most changes are temporary, she is trusting her skilled surgical team and has faith that the outcome will benefit her overall health.
Let’s come together to support Debbie so she can heal fully and recover safely as she navigates this challenging time. Your kindness—through donations, meals, errands, or simply words of encouragement—means the world to her.
Thank you for being part of Debbie’s journey. We are deeply grateful for this community.
With Appreciation,
Heidi
