Support Katrina Through Her Medical Journey

Donation protected
Hi everyone. I’ve gone back and forth on sharing this, but I want to give a little more context about what I’ve been dealing with medically.

Over the past several years, my health has been a constant challenge. After weight loss surgery in 2017, I developed complications that led to intestinal malabsorption. Since then, I’ve dealt with ongoing kidney stones related to how my body processes calcium, along with constant medication changes just to try and keep things balanced.

This past year has been especially hard. I had a hysterectomy in June, and it revealed more than expected. I’m currently going through vitamin infusions and immunotherapy, while still trying to manage everything else.

On top of that, I’ve had migraines since childhood, and this year I was diagnosed with Chiari malformation. I’m in physical therapy now as I prepare for next steps with a neurosurgeon.

Day to day, this looks like constant pain, exhaustion, brain fog, and a lot of sleepless nights. Some days I can push through, but others my body just won’t let me. It’s been incredibly hard not only physically, but emotionally—especially missing time with my kids, falling behind at home, and not being able to show up the way I want to.

This isn’t something new—it’s been building over time—but this year has hit harder than ever.

I’m sharing this to be open about what’s been going on behind the scenes. Thank you to everyone who has shown support, kindness, and patience with me. It truly means more than I can say

This isn’t easy for me to ask, but I truly need support right now. Any amount helps more than I can express, and if you’re not able to give, sharing this would mean just as much.
