Katie and baby Scarlett

Hello! My name is Jamie Kunning, and I'm fundraising for my good friend and her baby. Katie and I met as Peer Specialists at an inpatient hospital. Together, we helped people recover from mental health crises by utilizing our own recovery experiences to provide hope, encouragement, and wisdom. Katie has helped countless people overcome life's greatest challenges.

Over the last few months, Katie and her baby, Scarlett, have been under tremendous stress. Katie is a newly single mom with a small network of support. She recently began working full-time again after recovering from a mental health crisis. Just as things started to look up, Scarlett became extremely ill with a respiratory virus and has been hospitalized three times over the last two weeks. Katie has been on unpaid family medical leave and cannot afford her and Scarlett's basic needs this month.

If you are financially able, please help me raise $1500 for Katie and Scarlett to get through this challenging time together. All proceeds will go to their rent, bills, food, baby necessities, and gas. All sizes of donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your help!!!!
