Friends,
I am reaching out to you today on behalf of our amazing friend, Katie McKinney. Anyone who knows Katie knows she is a rare soul—an incredibly talented artist, a devoted mother, and one of the most generous, wonderful people you could ever hope to meet. Today, she needs our help.
Recently, Katie’s world was turned upside down. After discovering a mass in her lower abdomen, she began experiencing severe pain and health complications. Around the same time, Katie was unfortunately let go from her job and has been unable to work ever since.
Even with health insurance, the cost of continuous medical appointments, specialist consultations, and diagnostic testing has created an overwhelming financial burden. To make matters more urgent, Katie is now facing major surgery—a vital step for her health, but one that comes with a long recovery period and absolutely zero income coming in.
Katie is always the first person to show up for others, but right now, she needs to focus entirely on healing and being there for her family, without the crushing weight of medical debt and basic living expenses hanging over her.
How Your Donations Will Help:
Medical Bills: Covering the mounting costs of pre-op testing, surgery copays, and post-operative care.
Living Expenses: Helping with rent, utilities, and daily necessities for Katie and her family while she is out of work and recovering.
Peace of Mind: Allowing an amazing mother and artist the space to heal without financial panic.
Every single dollar helps ease this burden. If you are unable to donate at this time, please consider sharing this page with your network. Let’s surround Katie with the same love, beauty, and support she has always given to the world.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and generosity.
