Help Me Battle Multiple Myeloma and Get Back on Track

Hi everyone,

My name is Kristin "Krissy", and I’m reaching out to you during a difficult time, seeking your support during a challenging time in my life. As some of you may know, I’ve been battling multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer that has turned my world upside down.

Multiple myeloma is a relentless disease, and its impact on my life has been profound. From the physical toll of chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments to the emotional strain of living with a serious illness, every day presents new challenges. Despite my best efforts, the financial burden has become overwhelming.

Before my diagnosis, when things were more normal I was working full-time, managing my bills, and living independently while taking care of my family. However, the intensity of the treatments and the treatment schedule have made it nearly impossible to work consistently. In the past five months alone, I have been hospitalized four times, with stays ranging from three to ten days each time. These frequent hospitalizations have made it incredibly difficult to maintain steady employment and keep up with my regular expenses.

The financial toxicity of cancer is a harsh reality that many patients face, and I am no exception.

I am reaching out to you, my friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers, to ask for your help. Your generosity can make a world of difference and help me get back on track. The funds raised will go directly towards covering my essential bills and helping me get back on track.

Your support will not only provide me with the financial relief I desperately need but also give me the peace of mind to focus on my health and recovery. Every donation, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to regaining control of my life and easing the burden that multiple myeloma has placed on my shoulders.

Additionally, I am actively seeking meaningful work that I can manage alongside my treatments. If anyone has job leads or opportunities that might be suitable, I would love to hear from you. Your assistance in this area would be invaluable and greatly appreciated.

I understand that times are tough for everyone, and I genuinely appreciate any support you can offer, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing my story with others. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story and for your kindness and compassion during this difficult time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Kristin "Krissy" Smith
