Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

I’m reaching out today with a heavy heart, asking for help. As many of you know, I’ve been struggling with a life-threatening iron deficiency. Despite more than 15 infusions and thousands of dollars spent trying to restore my health, my body has had difficulty retaining the blood and iron I need to survive.

After countless tests and struggles, I finally received a diagnosis: Stage 4 Adenomyosis, severe fibroids, and chronic endometritis. The doctors have made it clear that the only option to move forward is a hysterectomy, and it needs to happen as soon as possible. If I don’t act quickly, I’m at risk of a life-threatening event at any moment. My oxygen levels are dangerously low, and I’m operating at just 86-96%, which makes every day feel like a constant fight for survival.

This surgery is only the first step on a long road to recovery, but it is absolutely necessary for my health and my future. While it won’t fix everything—such as my blurry vision or low oxygen levels—it’s crucial for stabilizing my condition. However, the financial burden it’s creating is overwhelming.

As a full-time, working single mother, I already face the strain of balancing work, my health, and caring for my son, Colt. This year has been incredibly challenging, and I’ve realized that even the strongest among us need to ask for help sometimes. I’m not asking for sympathy, just support as I take this next step in my journey toward recovery.

If you know me, you know this is just another chapter, another challenge I will overcome. I’m so grateful for the amazing support system I have, and I know I’m not alone in this.

If you are able to contribute toward the costs of my surgery and recovery, it would mean the world to me. I will be on FMLA for an extended period, and every donation will go directly toward medical expenses and the steps needed to get me back on my feet.

Thank you for being there for me, for your kindness, thoughts, and prayers. They mean more than I can express.

With love and gratitude,

Kim Kram
