<div>My mom, Karen Christian, founder of Christian Doodles, has spent her life serving others—through her faith, her creativity, and her constant willingness to help anyone in need. Today, she is the one who needs help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Over the past year, Karen has been living with severe, crippling pain caused by a tarlov cyst on her spinal cord, along with advanced lumbar degenerative disc disease, severe facet osteo arthritis in the lumbar spine and neuro stenosis on her L3, L4 and L5 joints. She has seen multiple doctors and specialists and has undergone X-rays, MRIs, and several CT scans. In an effort to manage the pain, she has undergone multiple cortisone injections— none of which have brought lasting relief. After multiple consultations she was also not a candidate for nerve ablations.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Recently, doctors discovered that the cyst on her spine is progressing and is now dangerously close to leaving her wheelchair-bound. She is unable to stand for more than 10 minutes at a time and lives in constant pain, day and night. She cannot lie flat, struggles to sleep, and her quality of life has been deeply affected.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In Canada, Karen has been told that the the only way she could receive a spinal fusion surgery is if her condition becomes an emergency—specifically, if she loses bladder or bowel control. Waiting for her condition to worsen is not a safe or acceptable option.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>After extensive research, Karen found hope. A highly qualified neurosurgeon in Tijuana, Mexico has reviewed her MRIs and confirmed that her condition can be safely and permanently repaired—without spinal fusion—allowing her to retain full movement and significantly reduce her pain. This surgery could truly give her her life back.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are raising funds to make this life-changing surgery possible.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The total cost is approximately $55,000 CAD, which includes:

</div>

<div>•	Spinal surgery (cyst removal and spinal implant)

</div>

<div>•	Accommodations in Mexico for approximately 7 days

</div>

<div>•	Travel and transportation to and from Mexico

</div>

<div>•	Extensive post-operative physiotherapy

</div>

<div>•	Support accommodations for her daughter Abigail, a licensed nurse, who will accompany and care for her throughout the journey

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Karen is hoping to undergo surgery within the next 3–6 weeks, as soon as the financial aspect is in place. This is the final hurdle standing between her and healing. We understand and do not expect all funds to be raised through donation. Karen is exploring every avenue including medical loans to make this surgery possible. Medical loans are high interest, so I’m reaching out to help ease the financial burden for her. 
</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Karen has always been the one to give—to encourage, to pray, to serve, and to uplift others. Now we are asking, humbly, for help in giving back to her.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated.

</div>

<div>If you are unable to give financially, we ask for your prayers—they mean more than words can express.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are trusting the Lord to provide and believe this is the final step toward Karen’s healing and restoration.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We will be posting updates in the weeks to come. If you have any questions or would like to donate privately, you can reach out to myself (Megan).

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.

Help Karen Live Pain-Free Again

<p>Hey there, my name is Kris, &amp; I’m reaching out from Alberta, Canada with a heavy heart. 
</p><br />
<p>Just this past week (October 20th), I had to say goodbye to my senior pyrenees (11.5 years old) — my best friend and companion — after a fight with bone cancer. It was the hardest day of my life, &amp; though I gave him peace, it left a hole in my heart and in my finances. 
</p><br />
<p>Now, heartbreakingly in the same week (October 23rd), my 1.5 year old pyrenees has been diagnosed with ligament injuries to both of her back knees (cruciate ligament tears). Without surgery, she’ll lose her ability to walk comfortably, run, or even play — things that every dog deserves to do, especially ones of her age. 
</p><br />
<p>The surgery she needs for both knees will cost nearly $12,000, and after spending nearly $1,000 to euthanize my senior dog, I simply have nothing left to give financially. I’m doing everything I can — talking to vets, exploring assistance programs, trying to sell a vehicle, &amp; cutting costs where possible — but I can’t cover this alone. 
</p><br />
<p>If you’re able to help, every donation (no matter how small) goes directly to her surgery and recovery. 
</p>
<p>Your kindness will help her stand, walk, and live a pain free life again. 
</p><br />
<p>Even if you can’t donate, sharing this campaign or sending words of support means more than I can express.
</p><br />
<p>*** Update (10/31/25) ***
</p><br />
<p>Daenerys had surgery on her right leg. The vet informed us that the ligament was completely severed in her leg. We have built a ramp leading from the house to the yard to help make it easier for her to get into the yard to do her business, as well as ordering her a doggy wheelchair so that she doesn't need to be lifted with a towel everytime she wants to move around. It will take approx. 3 months for her to rehab this leg &amp; get back to moving around somewhat properly on it again. Then once she's good, she'll be off to get her left leg done.
</p><br />
<p>Thank you for reading, for caring, &amp; for helping me give this sweet girl the second chance she deserves. 
</p><br />
<p>With gratitude, 
</p><br />
<p>Kris 
</p>

Help Daenerys Get Her Needed Rear Knee Surgery

<div>We’re reaching out with heavy hearts and an urgent request for support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, our beloved Ryan (Age 29) was involved in a tragic accident while visiting Tampa, Florida. The injuries sustained were severe and life-threatening — including multiple brain surgeries, traumatic head injuries, and ongoing neurological complications. This has turned their life completely upside down.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ryan is currently stuck in the U.S., undergoing intense medical treatment far from the familiarity and support system of home. The road to recovery is long and uncertain, but the immediate need is clear: they need help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His wife Hailey Grasdahl, and family have dropped everything to be by his side and are now navigating this nightmare in the U.S. They are not only facing the emotional trauma of nearly losing her husband, their son, brother, and so much more, but also the crushing financial burden that will likely last for years to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why We’re Asking for Your Help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a Canadian citizen, Ryan is facing enormous medical bills in the U.S., most of which are not covered by insurance or provincial healthcare. In addition to ongoing hospital expenses, there are costs for specialists, rehabilitation, medications, and eventual transport back to Canada.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On top of that, Ryan still has a mortgage, bills, and financial responsibilities in Canada — obligations they can’t begin to meet while he is unconscious, in recovery, &amp; under constant medical care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The financial burden is overwhelming. That’s why we are asking for your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What Your Donation Will Help Cover:
</div>
<div>•	U.S. hospital bills and emergency procedures
</div>
<div>•	Neurological and physical rehabilitation
</div>
<div>•	Transportation to Canada for his Wife &amp; family
</div>
<div>•	Ongoing living expenses such as mortgage, and bills at home in Canada
</div>
<div>•	Loss of income for Him &amp; His wife
</div>
<div>•	Boarding for their Family dog Winston
</div>
<div>•	Legal/administrative costs for cross-border healthcare coordination
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every Dollar Makes a Difference
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even the smallest donation helps ease the tremendous pressure on Ryan, Hailey &amp; their family. If you’re unable to give, sharing this campaign is another way to support. The more people who see this, the closer we get to bringing Ryan home safely and supporting his recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers. Let’s surround Ryan, Hailey, and their loved ones with strength during this unimaginably difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Kennedy Hardy
</div>
<div>Dear Friend of Ryan Grasdahl and his wife Hailey Grasdahl.
</div>

Ryan & Hailey's road to recovery

<div>My best friend's life has been flipped upside down due to a mysterious seizure disorder that almost killed him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This third seizure stopped his heart but luckily his wife and neighbor were there to perform chest compressions on him before paramedics arrived.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Doctors are unsure of the exact cause but believe it's connected to stress and notice it happens after hard work days. This has put a big financial burden on him and his family. He's drained his emergency fund this past year and missed a lot of work. This makes him work harder to provide for his family but ultimately sacrificing his health. It's a vicious cycle.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My goal is to help relieve some of his stress so he can take it easy the next few months while doctors figure out what's going on.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Davy's son Dakota and his wife Kayla are his world and rely on his income. Davy is one of the most giving people I know that never relies on anyone's help but he needs us. Anything donated will help his family get caught up on bills and allow Davy to breathe a little while they come up with an official diagnosis.

Davy & Family Relief Fund

<div>We’re looking to raise some money for sweet little Jayla May Gosling, and her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jayla is a vibrant 3 year old who lives with her mommy( Charity) Daddy(Jason) an older brother(Tyler) and 2 Sisters(Brooklyn and Hailey) just before Halloween, sweet little Jayla started vomiting. After 5 weeks her parents finally had enough, she wasn’t getting better. So last week sweet Jayla’s parents brought her to Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Within hours the Dr’s identified a 6cm lump in the back of Jayla’s head. That’s when every parents worst nightmare happened.
</div>
<div>Jason and Charity were told that it is a fast growing tumour, likely only a couple months along. The lump was putting pressure on the area of the brain that causes motion sickness/nausea.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her parents are still in shock as they went to the hospital for vomiting and extreme constipation and she ended up having emergency brain surgery. Within a couple hours Dr’s put a tube in Jayla’s head to drain the fluid off her brain. They quickly got a team together. They were able to successfully remove all of the tumour yesterday ( Dec 13th, 2022)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It has been confirmed the tumour was cancer so they will be starting a chemo journey after her brain heals. Then possibly another surgery if her brain can’t drain the fluid naturally once the tube comes out.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jayla and her family have a long road ahead! After chemo and another possible surgery Jayla will have scans every 3 months.
</div>
<div>The Dr’s said “after 5 years we can breathe and after 10 years of clean scans we can relax”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With Charity at the hospital and 3 other kids at home. Jason will be back and forth and helping out with household normalcy for the older 3 kids. Typically Jason works 5 hours out of town, and the Stollery Children’s Hospital is an hour from the family home in Camrose. So he will need to take a minimum of a few months off to be present in this difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help sweet Jayla May Gosling and her family.

Jayla May Gosling and her family

<div>Hey everyone this is Nova she came home with her back leg cut wide open. We do not know what happened to our girl but when we took her to the vet her muscle and tendons from her groin to below her knee were exposed. While the vet they did everything they could she will need a skin flap to cover her leg. We are currently looking at a $7,500 bill and while we are not asking for all of that anything can help us out. She is the sweetest, happiest dog who waits until everyone goes to bed before she does, she will not leave your side when you’re sick and she loves to protect her people. We just want to get her back and healthy. 
</div>

Help save Novas life

<div>In June of 2021, Kelsey and Justin Schultz noticed bruising on their sweet daughter (6 years old), Brenna. (Brenna is not pictured as they have chose to protect her privacy). Little did they know the battle they had ahead of them. It had been discovered that Brenna had low platelets and hemoglobin. She was admitted to the Children’s hospital almost immediately where she underwent blood and platelet transfusions, as well as a bone marrow biopsy. From July-November Brenna underwent multiple transfusions, hospital stays, tests, and infections. Brenna was diagnosed with Aplasmic Anemia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She has now started a long journey of a bone marrow transplant at the Mayo Clinic, where Kelsey will be staying with her away from their family and home for 4 months, “100 days”. Brenna will start this part of her journey with chemo to wipe out her bone marrow. Brenna will likely feel very ill and lose her hair during this treatment. There is a lot more complicated procedures, isolation, and appointments in between, but just know this is something nobody (especially a young child) should have to endure. Justin is currently home working and taking care of their two boys while Brenna and Kelsey are gone for treatment. Justin and Kelsey recently moved to the United States, so there is medical bills from these treatments. Thankfully, many have been covered. However, financial strain is a burden they are now carrying as part of this journey. We would like to raise money for the Schultz family to relieve the burden of financial stress during this un-imaginable time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Justin served faithfully at the Wetaskiwin Youth for Christ as a full time leader in the community for 7 years. He helped other’s children daily as his passion and his calling, so we would like to find a way to bless Justin and his children in return ❤️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can’t help financially, please remember them in your prayers, or send them a word of encouragement. Those are all equally important! Thank you.
</div>

Help the Schultz Family

<p>I was asked by Brees Fiancé Stephen and her family to start this go fund me to help with funeral, memorial and putting money into saving for the kids for when they need it. 
</p>
<p><br />
</p>

<p>Bree Gwynn tragically passed away at the young age of 26. Bree and her son, Austin  were in an accident on July 11th that sent her son to an Edmonton hospital where he is recovering from his injuries with his Dad by his side. Bree left behind the love of her like Stephen and their two young children Austin and Hailee

</p>

<p><br />
</p>

<p>Bree had a love for life like nobody else, she treasured each day and moment she shared with her loved ones. Bree was always there to lend a hand when someone needed help. Bree was always picking everyone up and now it’s our turn to pick her family up. 

</p>

<p><br />
</p>

<p>Please let’s help relieve some of the financial burden on this family so they can focus on each other and adjusting to this new reality. Stephen is unable to go back to work at this time as he needs to be here for his family. I am asking for your help in making this heartwrenching time for the family a little more bearable by helping with all the expenses (funeral, memorial) No matter the amount  I can assure you the family will be appreciative of your donation.
</p>

<p><br />
</p>
<p>Please reach out to me if you have any questions, I was one of Brees many close friends! We all need to stick together. 
</p>
