Help with Katrina's Final Expenses
Donation protected
My baby has lost her battle after fighting for 3 years. Words are insufficient to express my sadness, I now have a hole in my life and my heart that will never be filled. Here is her story.
My daughter Katrina was struck down and paralyzed with a disease called Guillain-Barre Syndrome, which is a rare disorder in which your body's immune system attacks your nerves. She was hospitalized for a month and in physical rehab hospital for 2 mos. Since then she has worked hard at her Physical and Occupational Therapy, slowly improving so she could walk and go to college, earning 3 AA Degrees and a Certificate despite her challenges.
Unfortunately, she experienced liver failure when we were in Phoenix at the Mayo Clinic for her orthopedic operation needed for her to walk again. We came home to New Mexico at the end of November, hoping her liver would heal so she could eventually have her operation. It did not.
Katrina passed away Saturday evening in her bed at home. She is finally not in pain anymore and won't have to fight and struggle any more. We will have a celebration of her life next month on Valentine's Day. I am collecting stories and memories people have of their happy times with her for her daughter, Taleah, who is 8. If you have any stories or picture to provide for this book of memories, please contact me.
