<div>Hello, my name is Kim, and I am creating this fundraiser on behalf of my beloved sister and her family. After <strong>surviving a life-threatening battle with sepsis, she unexpectedly lost her eyesight and is now learning how to navigate life completely blind.</strong> I'm raising funds to help cover her living expenses, medical care, transportation, and adaptive equipment as she rebuilds her life and works toward independence. Every donation, prayer, and share is deeply appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On March 26, our family's world changed forever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For months, my sister sought medical help for a lump near her temple. Despite multiple visits to healthcare providers, she was repeatedly sent home without testing or answers, even as her condition continued to worsen. By March 26, she was critically ill.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What began as another trip to the hospital quickly became a fight for her life. She developed sepsis, her kidneys shut down, and she required emergency dialysis. There were moments when doctors weren't sure she would survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By God's grace, she survived—but the sepsis took her eyesight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She entered the hospital able to see and left completely blind. In just a matter of days, her entire world went dark with a hospital stay of a little less than two months. Now she faces the unimaginable challenge of learning to navigate life without her vision.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My sister is only 50 years old. She has always been fun-loving, active, hardworking, and deeply devoted to her family. She loved her job, treasured time with family and friends, and is a loving mother of three children. In an instant, everything she knew changed. Everyday tasks that most of us rarely think about have become overwhelming obstacles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As she begins this new journey, she is facing tremendous financial hardship. Unable to work, she needs assistance with:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Housing and monthly bills
</div>
<div>Utilities
</div>
<div>Groceries and household essentials
</div>
<div>Transportation to medical appointments
</div>
<div>Ongoing medical care and rehabilitation
</div>
<div>Adaptive equipment and resources for individuals who are blind
</div>
<div>Other unexpected expenses as she learns to rebuild her life
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are humbly asking for your help during this incredibly difficult season. Every donation—no matter the size—will make a meaningful difference. Your generosity will help provide stability, meet her family's immediate needs, and give her the opportunity to focus on healing, rehabilitation, and learning to live independently again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are unable to give financially, we completely understand. Please consider sharing this fundraiser with your family, friends, church, and social networks. Every share helps us reach someone who may be able to help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most importantly, we ask for your prayers. We believe God is with her every step of this journey, and we are trusting Him for strength, healing, hope, and a future filled with new possibilities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your kindness, generosity, prayers, and encouragement mean more than words can express.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every gift, every prayer, and every share brings hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>May God richly bless you. ❤️
</div>
