In October, Krista’s life was turned upside down. An undiagnosed spinal issue forced her to step away from the job she loves and focus on healing. Just as she was trying to manage that recovery, she suffered another devastating setback—slipping on the ice and fracturing both her tibia and fibula, along with a severe ankle injury requiring emergency surgery.

For more than 10 years, Krista has been living with chronic medical issues and ongoing health challenges. Despite this, she has consistently pushed forward—continuing to serve her community, which she loves, and persisting with determination and strength. Krista is now unable to bear weight on her leg for at least six weeks and has been largely bedridden as she works through a painful and uncertain recovery. Everyday tasks that most of us take for granted are currently impossible for her without help. Being unable to work and move freely has been mentally and emotionally overwhelming.

For 13 years, Krista has been a dedicated, hardworking employee with the same organization. She gives her best and supports her community in any way she can. Now, after exhausting all PTO and FMLA, she is facing this medical crisis without income while medical bills and living expenses pile up. This fundraiser is meant to help ease the overwhelming financial strain Krista is under while allowing her to focus on healing. No donation is too small; every contribution helps relieve a little of the burden and brings hope during this difficult time. If you’re able to donate, share, or keep Krista in your thoughts and prayers, she will be forever grateful. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support.
