Help Kristen in Her Fight for Life

As many of you already know, Kristen was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August of 2023. Immediately following the diagnosis, Kristen started an aggressive treatment plan which included chemotherapy and radiation. She was young and otherwise healthy, so they hit it with everything they could. After about 6 months of treatment, the results were promising. However, not long after that, they realized that the cancer had spread to multiple spots. More rounds of chemotherapy were needed, and again, results looked promising. But unfortunately, this weakened her body. In October of 2024, she was rushed to the hospital in severe abdominal pain. They found she had a blockage so bad that it ruptured her bowels. She subsequently needed colostomy surgery. After recovering from surgery, the pain was still severe, and they discovered the cancer had now spread to multiple parts in her abdomen. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy again in hopes they can stop this cancer. However, a year and a half of treatment has left her broken in every way.

She’s chosen to keep this journey fairly private up until now. She felt as if it was a burden that would weigh on the hearts of her friends and family. But now she needs our help. Her illness is now so severe that she requires 24-hour care and it's simply overwhelming even with Diane’s best efforts. Please help however you can as these costs are now astronomical!
