Support Katrina's Fight Against Chronic Illness

Hi, my name is Katrina, and I never imagined I’d be in this position — asking for help just to get through each day. But after a long battle with multiple serious illnesses, I’ve come to a place where I can no longer fight alone.

Over the past few years, my health has declined significantly due to several chronic and life-altering conditions: Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID), Crohn’s disease, Psoriatic Arthritis, and most recently, Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis — a progressive, fatal, and incurable liver disease. These illnesses have taken a major toll on my body, leaving me in constant pain, struggling with severe fatigue, brain fog, nausea, vomiting, and frequent infections. I’ve lost weight rapidly and suffer from migraines and overwhelming exhaustion on most days.

I’ve been unable to work since April of last year and have applied for SSDI, as returning to a job is no longer possible. In the meantime, covering even the most basic expenses — rent, groceries, medications, transportation to appointments — has become increasingly difficult and stressful. I’ve tried to hold everything together on my own, but I’m now at a point where I need to ask for help.

My goal is to raise $10,000 to cover ongoing medical expenses and daily living costs while I wait for disability assistance to begin. Every donation, no matter how small, helps relieve a little bit of the enormous weight I’m carrying — and gives me space to focus on healing and staying strong.

If you’re unable to donate, I completely understand — sharing this campaign with others would mean just as much.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing with me during this incredibly hard time. Your kindness is a light in the darkness, and I’m deeply grateful for any support you can give.

With love and hope,

Katrina Beattie
