<div>Hi, I am Michelle Carlstrom and live in Gwinn, Michigan. I am 38 years old, married, and a mom of 4. I currently work at the Marquette Kwik Trip #1721 in guest service. <strong>I am the sole provider of the household as my husband receives SSI and will be out of work for quite some time due to surgery.</strong> <strong>I need an above-the-knee amputation due to previous knee replacements that failed.</strong> Surgery will be within the next 2 months.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The holidays are coming quick along with the bills still arriving. All money will go to utilities&amp; travel expenses to and from Ann Arbor for surgery and follow up appointments!
</div>
<div><strong>So today I am asking you for help!</strong> If it is with a share, donation, or whatever, it will help!
</div>
<div>If you would like to pay on a bill, I can give you the information to pay that directly. If you want to personally donate not through GoFundMe,I have the following:
</div>
<div>PayPal - @michellecarlstrom154
</div>
<div>CashApp- $Mitchie1987
</div>
<div>Thank you for the prayers, shares, donations,&amp; positive vibes! I really appreciate you all &amp; thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything!
