My name is Karen, and I was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Kidney Disease and White Matter Vascular Disease (damage to the brain's white matter caused by impaired blood flow). These health challenges have forced me to miss work, and I will continue to need time off from work for ongoing treatments and appointments. Asking for help is not easy for me, but I’m reaching out for support with my unexpected medical expenses. Any contribution, no matter the size, would mean so much, and I'd be forever grateful. If not, that's ok too, if you would keep me in your prayers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
