Help Kristalee Heal After Life-Changing Surgery

On March 27th, our dear friend Kristalee (Krissy) was rushed to the hospital with a medical emergency no one saw coming. Just a few months ago, she was in remission from Ulcerative Colitis. By May 9th, after weeks of hospitalization, surgeries, and setbacks, Krissy was finally discharged—minus her entire colon.

Yep, you read that right. Total Ileostomy. Major surgery. Several scary complications. Massive life change.

This was an unexpected blow, physically, emotionally, and financially. Krissy hasn’t been able to work since this all began, and doctors have made it clear—she won’t be returning for several more weeks.

Meanwhile, the bills are stacking up:

• Hospital and surgical expenses
• Unplanned medications
• Life-long medical supplies she’ll now need daily
• The regular bills that don’t stop just because life hits pause

Krissy has always been the one to show up for everyone else. Now, it’s our turn to show up for her.

Every dollar helps—whether it covers a co-pay, a pack of medical supplies, or just keeps the lights on for another month while she recovers. If you’re not in a place to donate, please consider sharing this with others who might be.

Let’s give Kristalee the support and peace of mind she needs to focus on healing, not on how she’s going to make ends meet.

Thank you for your love, your generosity, and your good vibes.

Let’s lift Krissy up—she’s got enough to carry already.
