Help overcome injury & illness
Hey there good looking!
I'm Krystel, I'm 98% of the time a healthy powerhouse unstoppable woman leader, inspiring others and encouraging them to achieve thier dreams passionately through laughter & love. I help others find the right tools & be a part of a community to launch them into success they rightly deserve.
Right now is when you're seeing the 2% of me that is human, frail and sick. Often times I hide my disability and sickness and cover it with a smile and laughter. I don't want people to see that I am in chronic pain and exhaustion. I've realized that I am a fraud by doing so, and when I teach people to be authentic and own the good and bad about themselves, that I am a hypocrite by hiding my own.
I am running this campaign because I have gotten so sick that I have been ordered by numerous doctors to discontinue my primary profession of massage therapy and to rest my body to recover my adrenal and kidney health.
My spine never completely healed from my car accidents a couple years ago and I live with chronic back and neck stiffness and pain. After having multiple adrenal crisis this past year and collapsing, and spending way too much time being hospitalised, I am humbled and am listening to medical advice. My health comes first. And I've been ordered to rest for a year. A YEAR! That is a really long time for a single mother, and I still have to provide for my kids, pay student loans & debt and pull my share of the weight of household responsibilities.
Adrenal fatigue is the inability to manage stress. The hormones adrenaline and cortisol don't get produced the way they should when the adrenals are fatigued. So instead of a fight or flight response to stress; my body collapses. I basically turn into a opossum. It's gotten so bad that my body doesn't recognise the difference between a life threatening stressor and a normal everyday stressor. So I've been told to decrease as much stress as possible to allow my adrenals to recover. I also have to take expensive medication and supplements to restore the health of several organs that are failing because of this.
The things I will be doing with the money:
Pay my living expenses & keep a roof over my families head.
Feed my family
Get caught up on past due bills (prevent pending legal issues)
Negotiate and settle some hospital debt (stop collection calls)
Purchase the medicine and care I need to facilitate healing and GET BETTER!
(Not specifically in that order)
Things I will be doing while resting that the Dr gave the ok to do.
Finish Writing my book and publish it
Write and publish articles
Attend stress management classes
Online coaching and Hypnotherapy
I can continue teaching Meditation classes
Receive massage and treatments to relax and decrease muscle tension.
So I will be online trying to make some money and helping others at the same time. I am physically limited in what I can do, but I have other talents I can still use to bring in income for my family as long as they don't cause me more stress.
I am going to do everything I can to provide for my family to the best of my ability with this disability and illness. I am going to continue teaching online and inspiring others. One day this will be the struggle story that's in my book and you will get to read how the help and love of others and my unstoppable mindset got me through it and I will be able to help others get through it also.
So I humbly ask you to please donate what you can. I won't turn down or judge you for a small donation. Every little bit helps and every little bit adds up if a lot of people contribute. If you can donate more, please do so. My medications are expensive and my family is in need of the financial aid to prevent us from losing our home.
If you aren't in a place where you can donate anything because your in a bad spot too, at the very least, please share this amongst your friends and encourage them to donate & share as well. You can be my biggest advocate by sharing.
