Support Kristy’s Lung Transplant Journey

I’m Kristy—mom, Alpha-1 fighter, and on the road to a lung transplant. This fundraiser helps me stay alive and show up to the fight. Funds go toward keeping my medical insurance active, plus all the transplant expenses they don’t tell you about—fuel, hotel stays, parking, recovery support, and everything in between. If you can give, share, or send good energy—I’m beyond grateful.

Hey y’all, it’s Kristy.

Right now, I’m in the middle of a tough battle—with my health and with the system. I’ve been hospitalized multiple times, including recently when I had to be taken by ambulance yesterday (05/07). I’m currently waiting on my full SSI disability approval, which could take months. I am currently on Long Term Disability through my employer but in the meantime… bills don’t wait.

I’m asking for help covering one critical thing:

My insurance and disability premiums.

Without them, I’ll lose access to the medical care and support I desperately need right now—at a time when I need it most.

The total I need to keep everything active for the next few months is over $5400 and every single dollar goes directly to keeping my coverage in place. No fluff. Just survival.

Right now though, I have to pay $2758.53 (now $2658.53) for my Feb-May 2025 premiums, by 05/30/2025.

If you’ve followed my journey on TikTok, you already know I’m doing everything I can—from documenting my story to staying positive (and even making jokes while hooked up to machines). But this part? I can’t do alone.

If you’re able to help—even just a share or a few bucks—it means more than you’ll ever know. I’m not just trying to survive this… I’m trying to breathe through it, literally and financially.

Thank you for being here,

Kristy
