I’m starting this fundraiser to help my friend Katrina (Calkins) Wilder. Medical issues have caused her to fall behind on rent and essential bills. Her debts need to be caught up by the 14th of this month, or she faces eviction.

Katrina has a kind heart and is usually the one who offers help. This is our chance to return the love. It took a while to talk her into this GoFundMe. She has been out of work for eight months due to medical issues and is waiting for a knee replacement. This was the topper after two years of difficult times. Katrina remains positive and has started an online notary business, but building a client base is a slow process. She’ll get there.

Katrina is deeply grateful for any support. If you prefer your contribution to be a loan instead of a donation, she is happy to repay it as soon as possible. Even the smallest gift—or simply sharing this fundraiser—can make all the difference between stability and homelessness. Thank you for offering hope during a difficult time.
