My name is Kayla. I never thought I would be the one asking for community prayers and support. Life seems to keep throwing me curveballs, and while most know what I have been dealing with the past 4-5 months, it has been a rough year. I have seen more doctors' offices and hospitals than I have since I was a child. I have been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that is draining and beating me physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially. While I wake up hoping to conquer the world, my body says and does otherwise. My body stays in constant fight or flight mode, fighting itself. This keeps me extremely weak and very sick most days. Struggling to walk and being able to get move. It affects my day to day life in all aspects in which I realized I too often took for granted. These past few months have humbled me and given me a new outlook on life. I have had to swallow my pride and learn it's okay to not be okay; I have accepted that everyone needs help at times including myself. As most would tell you, I'm usually the one trying to give or help, not receiving. With Medical expenses, bills and day to day living costs the expenses are piling up. I'm not too proud to ask at this point for any and all help. Treatment starts in the next few weeks, and surgery is planned for next month for a different issue. This has drained every resource available to us, and I'm sincerely just asking for any and all support at this time. We worked very hard to have the bare minimum that we do have, and trying to keep what we can to continue surviving while fighting all the health issues on top of it. The stress continues and I am trying my best given the circumstances and knowing this is going to be a long journey ahead. All funds will be used for medical expenses, bills, transportation and necessities during this difficult time. I pray God puts it on your heart to give whatever he leads you to help me during this unexpected and really difficult time in my life. I appreciate all kind words, support and the prayers! Keep them coming.
