Support Kristin's Stroke Recovery Journey

Donation protected
Kristin has become a casualty of the opiate crisis. Not because she has ever been addicted to them, but because the doctors at the ER in Ladysmith, WI, so assumed she was overdosing, they failed to see obvious signs of stroke. They said it couldn't be when I asked if she had a stroke. 'Not a chance,' I was told. Finally, 9.5 hours after we got there, they sent her to Marshfield. Almost immediately, they recognized, yes, she had and is still having a severe stroke.

Who knows the outcome if Ladysmith ER, would have recognized that she had EVERY symptom of stroke, and very few of overdosing. And gave her needed help and treatments right away. Even after her toxic screens came back clean, they insisted she did NOT have a stroke. And if I only told them what she took they could help her!!!!!!!!
so excuse me if I can never trust another doctor or nurse the rest of my life, AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU!!!

She does have BadgerCare so not a lot of medical costs, but plenty of other financial setbacks. Like yesterday made us drive 1.5 hours one way, to tell her she didn't have a heart arrethmia. Literal 1 minute visit. And many other trips and supplies and etc etc....

And what has reall put the squeeze on things is that I have also suffered a huge setback to my personal business. I had the dreaded "Covid" lone supplier for my main product I sell. So my supplier had some major issues, and after numerous tries and hoping, he finally went bankrupt. I believe I have secured a new supplier. But that of course has also went as smooth as most of my life lately. Complete shit show on tour... And I still have yet to receive the first product from said new supplier in a month or more... Tracking says coming.... But just within last few days.

So anyone who gives is welcome to free bark with any order they may make from my site. Of course this is dependent on a consistent flow of product. Which he says is no problem. Either most complex scam ever.. Or my vibe is solid, and fully expect when not if.....

Until then we are scraping bottom... Why else would I come beg dor money from friends, families, and strangers. A tone with money really. Haha.

i thank you much and give you my word that all funds will go to the needs of Kristin. Whether that's gas money to doctor visits and therapy; to home items and updates to make her more comfortable and safer to get around house. And yes even food, as she still eats, haha.

2.5 months post strike and right side is still pretty much useless, especially arm. She can walk with hemi-walker, and is fairly mobile. But speech is still lagging, and right arm is little to no action....

This has truly devastated our entire family, and she has a life time of impairment to have to deal with. And being she is 39, that could be quite a few years yet!!!

i, her spouse, have been her pretty much the sole and primary care giver the entire time. So needles to say, I am running on empty, and a day away from the asylum....okay I was always that way, so I guess the day just got shorter... haha.

So just a multiple, compound, and stacked situation.

Thank you for anything you can give.
