Kristi Anderson Mattison

Because of the love Kerrie and I both have for Kristi, we started this Go Fund Me to help Kristi's family get her home, and ease a little of the expense burden.
Kerrie and Kristi have been best friends since 4th grade. As we all know, being friends that long is rare. It's like winning the lottery not once but twice. They played soccer together up until college, and were both each others maid of honors. Their friendship continues today, and the love that Kerrie has for Krisiti is more like a sister....a bond that will never be broken.
I met Krisit the spring before our sophomore year at Richardson High School when we both tryed out for the JV cheer squad. We were roommates at the summer cheer camp and our friendship grew from there. We had several things in common, but our love for Prince (the man & music) was the icing on the cake. We stood in line for hours to get tickets to his Purple Rain concert. We cheered, played sports and had a great time together in high school. Today, I call her my friend because we never lost touch no matter what state or city we lived in.
Kerrie and I would love your support for our dear friend, sister and Prince enthusiast.
Kristi will need an Air Ambulance to get home!
On Tuesday, October 30, 2018, Kristi Mattison’s entire world changed. Subsequently, so did all who know and love her. As the lead singer of the Walton Stout Band in Dallas,TX, she spreads joy to everyone she meets. We need your help getting her home!
Kristi suffered an intracranial hemorrhage resulting in a stroke while she was with Eric (her husband) in Florida. Within hours she underwent a craniotomy in an effort to control the bleeding and swelling in her brain. She was put on life support and considered the most critical patient in ICU.
Her mother Cheryl, father George and loving husband, Eric are at her bedside praying for her recovery.
For those that know Kristi, you know she is the most loving, kind, accepting, humble, positive and loyal person on the planet…and if you had to pick one word to describe her, most would say she is an “Angel”. Her faith in the Lord is strong and her tender heart combined with her gorgeous smile, beautiful eyes and heavenly voice make it impossible for anyone who’s met her to ever forget her.
As the shocking news began to spread among family, friends and adoring fans, we almost immediately began to hear back from THOUSANDS of people telling us that they were utterly heartbroken and felt desperate to help. Some of those that have contacted us have known Kristi since elementary school, some played soccer with her in college, some have followed her through the Walton Stout Band and others have never met her in person, but wish they had. Regardless of our individual connection with Kristi, it is clear that collectively we all feel united in our desire to do more.
Based on feedback from many of you, we’ve decided to start a GoFundMe page so that we all can combine our heartfelt prayers with a tangible donation that will help enable Kristi to travel back home to Dallas to start her journey towards recovery. The ONLY way that Kristi will be able to come home is by means of an Air Ambulance and this expense requires a specially fitted aircraft with a traveling medical team.
Our initial goal is to raise $150,000. The total medical expenses are unknown at this time, but we are anticipating that Kristi’s medical needs will far exceed insurance limits. Donations will help fund long-term rehabilitation and possible modifications to their home to accommodate any physical limitations she may have initially.
This GoFundMe campaign has been created solely by friends of Kristi and Eric with the sole purpose of demonstrating how much we love them. Please take some time to consider making a loving donation of ANY amount because if we all donate something - together we can make a huge difference!
