My health journey began abruptly, as the trauma of my past began to manifest in my body. Stress-induced rheumatoid arthritis came first, bringing joint pain and inflammation that made everyday tasks challenging. Then, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a condition marked by relentless pain, fatigue, and a constant need to manage my energy. These illnesses are invisible to most, but they affect every decision I make, creating a daily balancing act that has become my new normal.

Then came a pulmonary embolism, a life-threatening event that shook me to my core. At the time, I didn’t understand just how serious it was. It wasn’t until later that I realized how close I had come to losing my life. That moment left me physically and emotionally shaken, and I couldn’t help but wonder how much more my body could endure.

Now, I’m facing my toughest battle yet: breast cancer. When I received the diagnosis, I felt an overwhelming wave of fear, disbelief, and uncertainty. The road ahead is daunting, with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments in my future. Each day brings new physical challenges, emotional exhaustion, and the weight of trying to hold everything together while battling this illness.

My health journey has been an unpredictable and difficult road, one that has deeply impacted my life and brought me to this moment of vulnerability. I’m sharing my story here, not just to seek help, but to connect with others who may understand or find inspiration in resilience.

Despite everything, I am determined to keep fighting. This journey has taught me how strong I can be, even in the face of overwhelming odds. I’m focused on healing, finding hope in the small moments, and leaning on the support of friends, family, and kind-hearted individuals who lift me up.

Unfortunately, the financial burden of these battles has been enormous. Between treatments, medications, and managing daily life with multiple chronic illnesses, the costs have become overwhelming. That’s why I’ve created this funding campaign. Any help, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference. It will allow me to focus on what truly matters: my health, my healing, and holding onto hope.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your support—whether through donations, kind words, or sharing this page—means the world to me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being a part of my journey.

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo

A meal kit delivered and ready to cook enables those in need of support to fill their house with the smell of a warm, nutritious, and tasty meal - without having to plan or shop for it. This is a great gift for people in the sandwich generation - those caring for kids and aging parents. It is a great gift for a single parent who loves taking care of things - but could do with a lightening of the load.
What to Express in Your Card: I was thinking about how much you have to do - work, kids. How is your mom doing living independently? I wanted just to say that I am always so amazed at how you keep it all together. I wanted to send you a meal just to say that you are amazing. I send it along with lots of love.

Good at over 25,000 locations nationwide, recipients can use their Spafinder gift card for a massage or facial, yoga or pilates classes, acupuncture or chiropractic, or over 25 total services. Encourage your loved one to take a break for themselves with a wellness gift card they can use anytime. Available in any denomination between $25 - $500.
Why We Love This Gift: This is one of those gifts perfect in just about any situation. New moms and those facing stressful pregnancies love a massage. When facing illness, those affected do too. To be frank, self-care is often the first casualty of any crisis. When people are incurring unexpected costs at an alarming rate, the first thing to go are the "luxuries." However, those who face highly stressful situations with long/uncertain outcome are precisely those who should practice aggressive self-care. They won't do it for themselves. You do it for them. Pamper them. Let them know you want them to take a break and that their well-being is a priority.
What to Express in Your Card: I hope you don't mind my sending you this gift certificate. There is no one I know more in need of a massage/facial/yoga class. I know you won't do it for yourself - so I wanted to do it for you. I am sending you love.

Expect great things when you shop Kohls for apparel, shoes, accessories, home products, and more!
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it provides quality home goods at attractive prices. Following the loss of a house to fire or flood, most people will find themselves underinsured. It is hard to remember all that is lost when it is consumed in a traumatic event.  This is also a nice gift for someone housebound due to illness - it can provide just a little freshening up, new sheets, a fluffy pillow. For the newly divorced, setting up another household is an expensive proposition. Lighten their load.

On Netflix, there's always something great to watch. Your TV Shows and Movies. Your Way.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because who does not sometimes have reason to binge-watch things? Call The Midwife? This is a terrific way to provide versatile programming for all age groups. Who needs cable? This is perfect for new parents, for aging loved ones, for a woman on bedrest, for a person recovering from surgery. You name it. And nothing about it is trite - a member of the Give InKind team watched her grandfather become ill over the course of years (Parkinson's Disease). As his health declined, he watched a good deal of television.  Offerings then were not especially good. He would have so enjoyed the series now available with a swipe.
What To Express in Your Card: I recommend Call The Midwife. It's fun.
