Help Kristin Overcome Her Health Challenges

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Supporters,

I'm reaching out to you on behalf of Kristin O’Brien, a beloved friend who has been battling through unimaginable challenges following a traumatic accident. Kristin's life was drastically altered when she sustained a neck injury along with extensive PPCS (Persistent Post-Concussion Symptoms) due to a car accident in 2020. These symptoms have deeply impacted her daily activities, making even the simplest tasks a monumental struggle, and has affected her ability to hold steady employment.

Kristin battles through neuro fatigue every day, leaving her drained and exhausted beyond measure. Her executive functioning has been compromised, making it incredibly difficult for her to navigate even the most routine tasks. Cognitive deficits and sensory overload further exacerbate her challenges, leaving her overwhelmed and frustrated. Simple acts like comprehending information or retrieving words have become monumental challenges for her.

On top of these cognitive struggles, Kristin also suffers from chronic migraines and neck pain stemming from herniated discs, a painful condition that has been aggravated by ineffective steroid treatments. Despite her unwavering resilience and attempts with various occupational and physical therapies, these health issues have rendered her unable to work, pushing her to the brink of financial instability.

Despite her desperate need, Kristin is unable to collect disability or social security benefits due to bureaucratic red tape. This heartbreaking reality has left her facing the terrifying prospect of losing her home, adding yet another layer of stress to her already burdensome situation.

But amidst these trials, Kristin remains determined to reclaim her life and rebuild her future. She is currently exploring surgical options for her neck condition, something that her doctors say is necessary now, hoping for a chance at relief and a return to some semblance of normalcy.

This is where your support can make a world of difference. By contributing to this GoFundMe campaign, you'll be providing Kristin with the lifeline she so desperately needs. Your donations will go towards covering her medical expenses, including consultations, treatments, and surgery. Additionally, your generosity will help alleviate the financial strain she faces, providing her with the stability she needs to focus on her recovery without the looming threat of homelessness.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to ensuring Kristin's journey to recovery is not a solitary one.

Your kindness, compassion, and generosity will not only offer Kristin tangible support but also serve as a powerful reminder that she is not alone in this fight.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering this plea for help. Together, we can make a profound difference in Kristin's life and help her embark on the path to healing and hope.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Lynn Bonenfant
