Hi, my name is Jenny and I am fundraising for a really beautiful person named Kristin Tipps. Kristin is one of the most sincere, joyful and giving people I know, and I have known her since we were 7, so that's a looong time!

For several months Kristin has been suffering with debilitating back pain from spinal stenosis and herniated discs, making even walking difficult. She has tried many treatments and achieved temporary relief, but the pain returns. The good news is spine specialists believe that they can help her with a surgical discectomy, which is scheduled for March 1st.

The funds raised by this GoFundMe will help to cover Kristin's medical expenses and assist her through her recovery, as she will need to be off work for at least a month following her surgery.

She has made it her living to help others through crisis. Please consider donating to this fundraiser to help Kristin get through hers. Everything helps. Thank you!
