Hi everyone,

I’m creating this fundraiser for my friend Kristina Wolf, an avid rock climber, outdoor adventurer, and all-around strong and wholehearted human being. After years of living with worsening neck and nerve pain, Kristina has finally received a formal diagnosis — and the necessary next step is ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion) spinal surgery scheduled for December 9th, 2025.

This surgery offers real hope for relief and a healthier future, but it also means a long recovery period where Kristina won’t be able to work.

Why Kristina Needs Support

Kristina works two jobs:

A State position, where disability insurance will cover less than half of her income. There is potential for her to lose minimum $6450 in income, depending on Disability insurance. She will also need to pay cash for her health benefits to continue while she is out of work, which equates to roughly $1300.

A cleaning business, which is very physical — she’ll have to pause it for at least 3 months, resulting in about $5,000 of lost income

On top of that, she will need help staying afloat during her minimum 10-week recovery from her State job. This means covering essentials like:

Rent and mortgage payments

Utilities

Food and basic household needs

Items and everyday support for her teenage son

Transportation and medical follow-up costs

Kristina is a hardworking, deeply independent person who always pushes through, but this is one of the rare moments when she simply cannot do it alone. The financial strain of missing months of income, combined with daily living costs, is overwhelming.

About Kristina

If you know Kristina, you know she’s the kind of person who lights up a room. She’s passionate, adventurous, and always the first to help someone else — whether that’s cheering on a friend at the crag, stepping up for her community, or juggling two jobs to build a stable life for her and her son.

How You Can Help

Any amount you can contribute will go directly toward supporting Kristina through this long healing process. Your generosity will allow her to recover safely, stay financially stable, and focus on getting back to the life she loves — climbing, adventuring, and being the incredible mom and friend she is.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is a huge help too.

Thank you so much for reading and for supporting Kristina during this challenging time. Your kindness truly makes a difference.
