Help Kitty Heal After Hit-and-Run Accident

HIT-AND-RUN RECOVERY — PLEASE HELP KITTY HEAL WITHOUT INSURANCE

Hi everyone, I’m Kitty.
On November 19th, 2025, around 9:40 PM, my life changed in an instant. I was legally crossing the street, with the right-of-way, when I was struck by a car in a hit-and-run. The driver kept going.

The impact left me with:
• A deeply fractured left leg
• A fractured left arm
• Injuries to my face and nose
• Immediate need for surgery and long-term rehabilitation

I was taken to the hospital, and I am undergoing surgery this morning. I will be recovering for months — unable to walk, unable to work, and unable to support myself.

I Do Not Have Health Insurance

This is the part that scares me the most.

All of my medical care emergency care, scans, surgery, specialists, hospitalization, medication, and physical therapy — must be paid out-of-pocket. Without insurance, these costs are catastrophic and far beyond anything I can handle alone.

Many of you know me as a working model and an artist, juggling my creative work and a part-time job. My entire livelihood depends on my body, my movement, and my ability to show up physically for jobs.

Right now, I can’t walk.
I can’t use my arm.
I can’t work at all.

I have no income coming in, while my expenses have skyrocketed overnight.

How Your Support Will Help

Your donations will go toward:
• Hospital bills & emergency care
• Surgery costs
• Imaging (X-rays, CT scans, MRI)
• Specialist visits
• Medications
• Physical therapy & rehabilitation
• Mobility equipment (crutches, wheelchair, etc.)
• Basic living expenses while I am unable to work
• Transportation for follow-up medical appointments

No amount is too small truly. Even sharing this link helps me more than you know.

From the Bottom of My Heart

This accident was terrifying, painful, and completely unexpected. I am trying to stay strong, but I genuinely cannot do this without community support.

Thank you for reading this.
Thank you for donating.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for helping me get through something I never imagined facing.

With all my love and gratitude,
Kitty
