Hi, my name is Cristlyn, and I’m creating this fundraiser for my parents—two of the strongest people I know who are going through the hardest season of their lives.

My mom was recently diagnosed having Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (breast cancer). She's been a hairstylist for 9 years, who has always taken care of others with grace and love, but right now, the treatments have left her unable to work.

At the same time, my dad is recovering from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) after being hurt on the job. He lost balance and hit his head on a concrete floor and was left for hours without being found. He’s been out of work for over 9 months, and his recovery has been slow and incredibly difficult.

With both of them unable to work, the financial pressure on our family has become overwhelming. Medical bills, prescriptions, daily expenses, and basic needs are adding up fast.

I’m asking for help to ease that burden — to give them space to heal without the constant stress of how to keep the lights on or put food on the table.

If you're able to donate, no matter the amount, it would mean the world. If not, please consider sharing this with others. Your prayers, support, and kindness are more appreciated than you could ever know.

Thank you so much for being part of our village.
