Hello, friends!

I’m Kate St. John (@itstookate on TikTok), and I am ready for a new chapter in life. One where I’m not begging for survival. I have a toddler and a handful of health issues that have made me dependent upon my spouse financially and for health insurance. I am seeking a divorce from him due to his mistreatment and control of me. I do not have childcare which is an additional reason I have been pursuing my creative writing and content creation from home.

My intentions with the funds from this are to apply it towards:

1. Rituxan infusions for Lymphoma (current bill is $16,000, anticipated to go up to $70,000)

2. Securing safe housing for my daughter, dogs, and myself (estimated to be $2,200/month)

3. Attorney/court fees (retainer is $7,000)

4. Other medical expenses for health insurance, medications for autoimmune diseases, physical therapy for a connective tissue disorder, and therapy for the CPTSD of all of this

4. Childcare (daycare, babysitter, play therapy) estimated $2,600/month 

I have no expectations from anyone, but am more than grateful for donations to help create a foundation I can build upon and make last. It is my hopes to be able to work remotely on these projects, so I can attend medical appointments and continue to be my child’s caretaker.

My intentions are to grow my platform for opportunities through that route, publish novels based off my experiences, publish children’s books to promote emotional intelligence early on, and so much more. With these projects, I hope to grow a community of women that support each other through these difficult situations.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for your empathy. Thank you for your compassion.
