Hello everyone,

My name is Kyrie, and I’m reaching out from a place I never imagined I’d be during one of the hardest moments I have faced as a single mom. November 6th I fell and tore my ACL and MCL, damaged my meniscus, bruised some bones, damaged my patella, have an impaction fracture, and a partial tear on my PCL. Due to the injury everything in my life has flipped upside down. I’ve been out of work since the injury, and now I’m preparing for surgery that will take me out even longer. I will be going in for surgery December 10th, and recovery time will be 6 weeks if not longer until I'm starting physical therapy. Every day I’m out of work feels terrifying. I have no idea how long my recovery will keep me from being able to provide for my little girl.

I’ve always been the one who finds a way. I work hard, I provide for my daughter, and I’ve never had to ask for help like this. But between losing my income, Christmas coming up, and bills I feel like I’m drowning. I used up my savings, and maxed out my credit card after putting a pretty decent amount of work into my car just weeks before I got hurt. I’ve been holding on as tightly as I can, but I’ve reached a point where I can’t do this alone.

I’m scared, overwhelmed. And more than anything, I’m trying to protect my little girl from feeling the weight of all this. She has already been so strong, and so helpful through it all.

As much as I hate asking, I could just really use some extra help to get through this time. Between the holidays, staying on top of bills, groceries, everyday essentials, and making sure I'm still able to give my girl a Christmas that still feels magical. Anything helps, even just sharing this. That’s why I’m asking for help. Just enough to get through this recovery.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story. I'm fighting to stay strong for my daughter. Asking for help is extremely hard for me, and out of my comfort zone. But this injury has taken away my ability to work for the time being, and left me with no financial cushion. Every donation, every share, and every kind message means more than I can express. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping us get through this and making it possible for me to take care of my little girl in the ways she needs while I'm down it means the world❤️
