Hi, my name is Kelsey, and I’m reaching out with hope in my heart and a lot of vulnerability. After years of confusion, pain, and unanswered questions about my body, I finally started getting real answers.
Recently, I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and a bicornuate uterus—a condition I’ve unknowingly been living with for years. After undergoing a hysteroscopy and a pap smear to get to the bottom of what was causing multiple month-long heavy cycles and pain, we received news no one ever wants to hear:
There had been cancerous cells that had developed after unknowingly living with HPV 16 & 18 for a long span of time. Thankfully, it was caught as early as can be, or so I am told.
The best course of action now is to proceed with a hysterectomy as soon as possible—currently scheduled for mid to late July. We are waiting on the confirmation of the date from the medical team. However, I wanted to go ahead and get a jump on this.

This is about my health, my future—and staying here for the people who need me most.
I’m a wife and a mom to two amazing teenage daughters, one of whom has already experienced the heartbreak of losing her biological father. I want to be here for the long haul—to watch them grow, to guide them through life, and to keep being the one who shows up when they need me.

What I Need Help With:
I’m hoping to raise $2,000 to help cover:
Out-of-pocket costs for the hysterectomy
Lost income during my recovery
Essential items to support post-op healing
I’m doing what I can to prepare, but I need support to get through this without putting my recovery—or my family’s stability—at risk.
