Those who know Christopher Havens know a story of profound transformation. While navigating the challenges of incarceration, including a year spent in solitary confinement, Christopher discovered a passion for higher mathematics. It became his lifeline, a way to rebuild his mind and his future.

Throughout the years, Christopher has been lucky to have the support of Kimberly, his fiancée. Now, she is facing a different kind of battle while Christopher is still inside.

Kimberly was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome in 2018 after experiencing symptoms since childhood. She is dealing with a serious complication that requires surgery and that significantly impacts her quality of life. You can read more about her story on her blog https://www.zebrasandspoons.org

Beyond the physical toll, the weight of medical expenses and the logistical hurdles of their situation have become an immense burden. We are reaching out to friends, supporters, and those moved by their story to help us raise funds for two critical needs:

1. Life-Changing Medical Care: Covering the direct costs of her surgery along with travel expenses, post-operative care, and the medications necessary for her recovery.

2. Relocation & Support: Helping her move closer to the facility where Christopher is currently held. Being nearby is not just about convenience, but also about the emotional support system required for her to heal and for them to maintain the bond that has sustained them both through his journey.

Christopher’s story shows us what is possible when a person finds a sense of purpose. However, that purpose is anchored by the people we love. This campaign is designed to ensure that, as Christopher continues his path, the person who has stood by him has the medical care and proximity she needs to survive and thrive. We are aiming for a warm, stable future for them both.
