Dear Friends, Family, and Kind-hearted Strangers,

As many of you know, our dear friend Kristy Lindahl has recently undergone a major spinal surgery after years of battling intense pain and discomfort. This surgery was crucial in order to improve her quality of life and allow her to regain some of the mobility and independence she lost due to her condition.

We all know how active Kristy is in the community with volunteering and church involvement; not to mention her love for nature and hiking whenever she has a spare moment. However in the last 3+ years, she has slowly had to give up each of these things she loves due to her disabilities. She has been fighting so hard to get this surgery approved and taken care of by our healthcare system. Amidst all of this, she was rear-ended by an uninsured driver just several weeks shy of her surgery making recovery even more painful.

However, while the surgery was a step toward healing, Kristy now faces a long road to recovery. She will need time for rest, physical therapy, and ongoing medical support—all of which come with significant costs. As she focuses on healing and getting back on her feet, we want to alleviate some of the financial burden she’s facing during this challenging time.

We are launching this GoFundMe to help cover medical expenses, therapy costs, and everyday living expenses while Kristy is unable to work and care for herself as she usually would.

How Your Support Helps:

    •    Medical Bills: While Kristy’s surgery was necessary, the costs of the procedure, hospital stay, and follow-up care are substantial.

    •    Physical Therapy: Recovery requires a significant commitment to physical therapy and rehabilitation, which is costly and essential for her long-term health.

    •    Living Expenses: Kristy is currently unable to work, and as she heals, she needs assistance with rent, groceries, and other daily necessities.

Kristy has always been the first to help others in need, and now it’s our turn to show her the same kindness and support she’s given so many of us. Your donation—whether large or small—will make a huge difference and will go directly toward helping Kristy regain her strength and rebuild her life.

Ways You Can Help:

    •    Donate: Any contribution will be greatly appreciated.

    •    Share: Please share this campaign with your friends and family to help spread the word.

    •    Send Your Love: A note of encouragement can also mean the world to Kristy as she navigates this difficult journey.

Kristy has an incredible support system, and with your help, we can make this next chapter of her recovery a little easier to navigate. Thank you so much for your generosity, kindness, and for being there for her when she needs it most.

With gratitude,

Anne-Elizabeth N. + Kristy L.
