Tumor and Recovery Battle

Dear friends, family, and kind strangers,

I am reaching out today to share a life-altering health crisis I am currently facing. Doctors recently discovered a massive 12cm tumor on my liver. It is causing severe symptoms and major medical complications daily. The photo added shows the black circle is the tumor, green is my kidney it’s deforming and red is my “normal” kidney.

My life has been turned upside down, and my absolute top priority is being here to raise my young daughter. She is my world, and she needs her mom healthy, active, and present. To make that happen, I am undergoing a major, complex operation on Friday, July 24th to remove the tumor and my gallbladder.

While I am staying strong for my daughter, the financial burden of this crisis is overwhelming. I am facing a long hospital stay and an extended recovery period where I will be unable to work. I need a helping hand to manage the avalanche of incoming costs, including:

  • Major surgical costs for the liver tumor and gallbladder removal
  • Extensive hospital stays and specialized post-operative care
  • Basic living expenses and rent to keep a stable home for my daughter while I cannot work
  • Childcare assistance to ensure my daughter is safe and cared for while I recover
  • Prescriptions and costly follow-up medical appointments

Asking for help is incredibly difficult, but I am doing this for my future and for my little girl. Easing this financial strain means I can head into surgery on July 24th focusing entirely on surviving, healing, and getting back to being the mom my daughter deserves.

How you can support us:

  1. Donate: Every dollar directly helps cover medical bills and keeps our household running.
  2. Share: Please share this link on social media as it does donate very small portions itself with just sharing the link or text it to loved ones.
  3. Pray: Keep both me and my daughter in your thoughts as July 24th approaches.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love, kindness, and generosity during the most difficult chapter of our lives. I will post updates on my surgery and recovery as it will be possible throughout navigating this situation.

With love and gratitude,

Kyndra
