My name is Krista, and I’m reaching out during one of the most challenging times of my life. I have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and through this journey, I discovered that I am also BRCA+. This means I face a significantly increased risk of developing breast cancer, and my doctors have recommended a double mastectomy to help protect my health and give me the best chance at a cancer-free future.

The emotional and physical toll of this journey has been immense, but the financial burden is also overwhelming. The costs for surgery and related care are more than I can manage alone. Every dollar raised will go directly toward my surgery costs, helping me take this critical step toward recovery and peace of mind.

I hate to even have to ask for help, but I am filled with gratitude for anyone who can support me. This past year has been incredibly rough, but it’s the love and encouragement from friends and family that has helped me keep going. Your support—whether through a donation or by sharing my story—means the world to me. Thank you for standing by my side as I fight for my health and my future.
