Help Me Heal: My Journey Back to Health.

Hi, I am Carrina. If you have ever met me, you probably know me as the person who is always helping everyone else.

Today, I am learning something much harder: how to ask for help.

Over the past several years, my life has been turned upside down by a series of serious medical conditions that have led to multiple major abdominal surgeries, extended hospitalizations, countless emergency room visits, and ongoing treatment with specialists. What began as one health challenge became many, leaving me fighting every single day just to regain the life I once had.

The hardest part hasn’t been the physical pain.

It’s been losing my independence.

As I write these words, I am writing them from my hospital bed.

I spent my entire adult life building a career in Human Resources with the federal government before joining a unique team within the Department of the Army. My work took me across the country helping people, volunteering in my community, and being the person everyone could count on.

Today, my biggest victories are making it through a day without another hospital admission, keeping food and water down, managing pain, and holding onto hope that healing is possible.

Despite everything, I haven’t given up.

My medical team continues searching for answers while I continue doing everything I can to heal and fight to get back a sense of normalcy.

How your support will help

The funds raised will help cover ongoing medical expenses, travel and lodging for specialized treatment out of state, transportation, recovery-related living expenses, and the many unexpected costs that come with complex, long-term medical care. Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps lift a burden and allows me to focus on healing

More than anything, I am asking for your prayers, your encouragement, and support as I continue this journey.

My faith and my positive outlook have carried me through every surgery, every hospitalization, and every setback. God has brought me this far, and I trust Him to carry me through the rest of this journey.

Thank you for your time to read my story, for your prayers, your encouragement, and for standing beside me during this journey. Whether you donate, share my fundraiser, or simply keep me in your thoughts and send positive vibes, I am deeply grateful. Your kindness means more than words can express. Thank you for walking this journey with me. ❤️

I truly believe brighter days are ahead. ✨

I am still standing.

Still fighting.

Still hoping. ❤️
