We are raising funds to help Kristin get the medical treatment and surgeries she so desperately needs. Kristin has a connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a disease that affects her entire body and has progressed in recent years. These complications range from musculoskeletal problems like joint dislocations and severe pain to more serious issues such as arterial and organ ruptures.

In addition to Ehlers-Danlos, Kristin is also living with May-Thurner Syndrome (significant bilateral iliac vein compression), Dysautonomia, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Asthma, Severe SVT, Mast Cell Disease, and more. She is currently awaiting endometriosis excision surgery, as doctors suspect the disease has spread to her diaphragm — causing further pain and complications.

Despite her own health battles, Kristin has never stopped caring for others. She has brought countless patients comfort through her work in Hospice Nursing, served people from all walks of life in Emergency Medical Services, and continues to teach and mentor the next generation of EMTs as an instructor.

Kristin devotes herself wholeheartedly to serving others, never hesitating to help a patient or student in need. Whether she’s visiting her hospice patients, teaching in the classroom, or tutoring after hours, her compassion and commitment shine through.

Unfortunately, her quality of life has significantly decreased due to the constant pain and illness she endures daily. We want Kristin to receive the same level of care and compassion she gives so freely to others. Managing these complex medical conditions would be overwhelming for anyone — especially for a young 21-year-old woman just beginning her adult life.

We are hoping to ease some of the financial burden she faces as she pursues the specialized treatment and surgeries she needs. ❤️

Any help you can offer means the world to Kristin, and we know she will be endlessly grateful. Please keep her in your prayers for comfort, healing, and strength.
