Over six months ago, on a random Saturday night I found a lump in my breast and this "adventure" took off! Life will never be the same...which I say now from a place of humble gratitude. My journey has been shared along the way on Caring Bridge (link above if you choose to read more). And, I wanted to share that as of today (1/22/2024) my Circle - YOU - have gifted me with $49,950 toward the $60k goal. This has enabled me to focus on healing versus stressing about being out of work for a chunk of time. This has allowed me to breath...rest...heal...and get ready to pay it forward again once my full journey is complete (which I forecast as September 2024). Thank you. Big, deep heartfelt gratitude!

Love, Krista

(Below message from August 2023)
Hearing "It's cancer" is a wild experience. Emotionally, physically, spiritually, and financially a person's world gets rocked.

My world was rocked on July 13th when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The current plan will span a full year with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery, many procedures, and a few other question marks around radiation and other needs based on my healing process.

Gratefully, I changed insurance coverage in January of this year. Sadly, the deductible I have due that will hit twice (2023 and 2024) is devastating, as well as basic maintenance and living expenses while moving through this process. I anticipate the price tag of this will ring in at $60,000. As a small business owner, I can easily feel scared and humbled in this moment.

And....I also know people want to help in meaningful ways, however possible. With that in mind, I have a team working on opportunities to contribute in the coming days/weeks so I can focus on healing over finances.

Please know, each person's gifts come in many forms. Time, talent, and treasure are all welcome as I heal with and through cancer. If you can make a financial gift - thank you. If you can share your time - thank you. We will be hosting a Power Hour where a group comes together on zoom and makes calls to others to raise money (let me know if you are interested in more details). If you can share your talent in the form of connecting, praying, caring - thank you!

People may choose to support me directly (Venmo is @Krista-Powers-1 [2573 are the last four digits of my phone number], Zelle is 8592502573, or check) or through this GoFundMe page.

So....lots happening. I am incredibly grateful for your care, your thoughts, and your love.

I love you,
Krista
