Hi everyone,

My name is Jennifer FitzGerald, and I’m organizing this GoFundMe to support Kiela Long, a hardworking single female hairstylist who has devoted her career to helping others feel confident, beautiful, and cared for.

Kiela is facing a medically necessary shoulder surgery that will temporarily prevent her from working. As a hairstylist, her arms and shoulders are essential to her livelihood, and recovery will require time off, physical therapy, and rest.

As a single woman, Kiela carries all of her financial responsibilities on her own. During recovery, she will be facing:

Medical and surgery-related expenses

Physical therapy and follow-up care

Loss of income while unable to work

Rent, utilities, groceries, and everyday living expenses

Anyone who knows Kiela knows how dedicated, strong, and selfless she is. She shows up for her clients every day and rarely asks for help. Right now, she needs the support of her community.

Any donation — no matter the amount — will help ease the financial burden so Kiela can focus on healing and recovery. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser means just as much.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this challenging time. We are deeply grateful for every bit of love and encouragement.

With heartfelt thanks,

Jennifer FitzGerald
