If you know MaryKate, you know she’s one of the most loving, compassionate, and resilient people out there. This year has tested her strength in ways most of us can’t imagine. She’s spent much of 2025 mostly bedridden while navigating advanced endometriosis and Lyme disease — conditions that have taken a major toll on her body, nervous system, and energy.

Recently, an insurance change has opened the door to new treatment options, including a highly specialized surgery performed by only a handful of surgeons in the country. It’s a ray of hope but it also comes with significant out-of-pocket costs for appointments, travel, medications, and supportive care. Since she’s been unable to work consistently since March, it’s been an incredibly heavy financial burden to carry on her own.

MaryKate has spent years helping others heal through her work in holistic nutrition. Now it’s our turn to show up for her. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help her access the care she needs and deserves on her path to recovery.

With so much love and gratitude,
Naida
