Support for Katelyn’s Family During Unexpected Medical Issue

My name is Katelyn, and I’m reaching out for support as my family and I navigate a difficult time. I’ve been hospitalized for several days with pancreatitis, cholecystitis, and gallstones in my bile duct. I’ll need surgery soon, and while I focus on recovery, I’m unable to do the side jobs that help us pay bills and put food on the table. My husband has also had to miss work to care for our family, and he isn’t being paid during this time.

We have three children—Lainey, Shaylee, and Liam. Lainey has stepped up to help with her siblings, even as she works to pay for college. Shaylee and Liam are struggling with being apart from me, and I miss them deeply. We’re also facing extra costs for meals and back-to-school needs, all while our household income has dropped. The medical bills are already adding up, and we’re worried about keeping up with everyday expenses.

Any support will mean so much to us and help relieve the stress we’re feeling. Your kindness will help us cover medical bills, household expenses, and make sure our kids have what they need as we get through this challenging time. If you can't help financially, please continue to say prayers for our family. Thank you for considering helping our family.
