Hi everyone,

My name is Kristina, and I’m reaching out after a serious work-related accident that has completely changed my day-to-day life.

While closing a heavy door at work, I suffered a severe injury that resulted in a broken pelvis and tailbone. Since then, I’ve been unable to put weight on my legs and am currently in a wheelchair. Recovery is expected to take at least 4–6 months, possibly longer.

I’ve spent the last few years working as both a bartender and now a manager. Right now, not being able to work has been incredibly difficult—both physically and financially.

I am receiving disability, but it only covers a portion of my expenses. I’m already starting to fall behind on essential costs like rent, utilities, groceries, and supporting my daughter.

Many of the guests I’ve had the privilege of serving and getting to be friends with over the years have asked how they can help, and I’m truly grateful for that kindness. This fundraiser is a way for anyone who wants to support me during this time to do so.

Funds will go toward:

• Rent and monthly bills

• Groceries and daily living expenses

• Supporting my daughter while I recover

Every donation, no matter the size, helps take some of the pressure off while I focus on healing and getting back on my feet. If you’re not able to donate, sharing this means just as much.

Thank you for your support, your kindness, and for being such an important part of my life!

With love and gratitude,

Kristina
