Hi, my name is Krystal. I'm reaching out with a heavy heart and a deep sense of hope, asking for your help to raise funds for my beloved cousin Kerry. She recently received the devastating news that she has a malignant brain tumor.

Kerry is one of the most cheerful and positive people I know. Her bright smile and uplifting spirit have always been contagious. As a dedicated mom, she has gone above and beyond to make every moment special for her son. Whether it's arranging "Santa" calls or organizing Easter bunny surprises, Kerry ensures that her son’s memories are magical.

On Wednesday, July 10th, Kerry's sister received a distressing call from Kerry's coworker, saying she had a blackout at work. Rushing to her side, her sister took her to the hospital, where a series of tests revealed the heartbreaking news: a very large brain tumor. None of us were aware of the symptoms she had been experiencing. Kerry's sister, Kandice, has since witnessed the terrifying episodes of her blackouts and short-term memory loss.

Given the severity and rapid progression of the tumor, doctors have advised immediate surgery to remove it. This comes with a price: The cost of the surgery is $250,000 (TT) or $50,408 (Canadian), with an additional $5,000 (TT) or $1,008 (Canadian) for each night she remains in the medical center. My ask for $302,530 (TT) or $61,000 (Canadian) will cover the cost of the surgery and 10 days in the medical centre. All funds raised will be given to her immediate family located in Trinidad to Kerry the treatment she needs.

Kerry has always been more than a cousin to me; she's like a sister. I am committed to helping her fight this battle, but I can't do it alone. We need your generosity and support. Please, share this post and donate if you can. And please don’t forget her in your prayers. Your help is crucial in saving Kerry's life. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
