Support Kaitlin and Maya after unexpected medical expenses

Hi everyone, thank you for being here.

We are Kaitlin & Maya, a 30-year-old mom and her 3-year-old daughter. I have hit a hard spot and am ever so humbly asking for help after spending some time in the hospital.

I am a single mom, working full-time, in school for my CNA, and trying to support Maya's hopes and dreams, medical expenses, prescriptions, rent from missing work.. I fear I won’t survive falling behind . She is a dancing queen and starts dance class this month, and my CNA classes end next month. Crossing my fingers to land a stable job, with insurance, at the hospital! (Cross your fingers, send good vibes!)

I work as a restaurant server at P.F. Chang’s. It’s a wonderful job but doesn’t offer insurance, nor do I get paid if I am not able to work.

Queue the whole reason and my embarrassment for asking for any help!

Starting Saturday the 22nd, I was very ill and in a lot of pain, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and fainting. I went to the ER, and they stated I had a cyst on my ovary burst and sent me home with medications and told me to rest a few days before returning to work. I returned to work Tuesday. I was in an excruciating amount of pain, vomiting, and passing out. I had to leave work and go back to the ER. I ended up having to get immediate surgery for an ovary torsion, having to stay in the hospital overnight, and will need a week or 2 off of work to heal.

I unfortunately have no income while doing so and have missed too much work already. I also have ZERO insurance to cover any of this. I feel scared and ashamed to ask people to help me. But I have been encouraged by friends and coworkers to do so. I’ve always been on the donating end, doing what I can for anyone else and love to help others. If you can help in any way, nothing is too small. A donation, a share, a prayer, kind words, or helpful advice. Maya and I would appreciate it, life is hard and scary enough as it is, I know it takes a village. So here I am, asking that village.

Thank you so so much for taking the time to read this!

I am still in a lot of pain, but I am home! Maya despises the fact I cannot lift or hold her.. this momma hates it too! I am blessed to have family support helping me with Maya! ❤️
