Hi everyone,
My name is Kitrena, and I’m reaching out during one of the most difficult times of my life.
About three weeks ago, I unexpectedly passed out and suffered a serious leg fracture that required emergency surgery. It all happened so fast—I went from a normal day to being in the hospital, facing pain, uncertainty, and a long road to recovery.
Unfortunately, I don’t have health insurance. I applied for Medicaid but was denied, and now I’m facing over $50,000 in medical bills.
I will be receiving short-term disability and FMLA, but there’s a 30-day waiting period before they take effect, and even then, the support is limited. In the meantime, the bills are piling up, and I’m doing everything I can to stay strong—not just for myself, but for my son.
I’m a single mom raising an amazing young man who is about to start his senior year of high school. This should be a joyful and exciting time for him, but instead, we’re both carrying the weight of this unexpected crisis.
As hard as it is to ask, I’m reaching out to ask for help—whether it’s through a donation, a share, or just keeping us in your thoughts. Anything you can do would mean the world to me and would help ease the burden while I focus on healing and being there for my son.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, support, and compassion.
With love and gratitude,
Kitrena
