Support Kari's Recovery After Serious Accident
Donation protected
Hey friends, it’s Kari—
This isn’t something I ever imagined myself writing.
Two weeks ago, I was in a serious car accident while commuting to work. I’ve been out of work since, and now I’m facing surgery this Wednesday. I have no health insurance, no guaranteed income during recovery, and my savings are almost gone.
I’ve worked in the restaurant industry for many years. And if you know this industry, you know—benefits and insurance are rarely part of the job.
This injury has affected every part of my life—physically, emotionally, and financially. Without surgery and proper care, I may not be able to return to work. But even now, I’m doing everything I can to stay strong for my family. The bills don’t stop, and I need to keep food on the table for my kids.
⸻
I’m humbly asking for help to raise anything possible to cover:
• Surgery and medical bills (no insurance)
• Physical therapy and recovery
• Rent, groceries, and basic living costs
• A vehicle to replace the one totaled in the crash
• Support for my children during this recovery
⸻
If you’re able to contribute, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you can only share this, I appreciate that just as much.
This is one of the hardest seasons I’ve ever been through—but I’m holding onto hope, and the kindness of those willing to help.
With love and gratitude,
Kari
