Support Kirya Traber's Medical Recovery

Donation protected
We are Sarah and Emma, currently raising funds for one of our favorite people (and yours), Kirya Traber who just experienced an unprecedented medical emergency.

What's happening:
Kirya has spent the last month in the hospital fighting an aggressive infection that her doctors don’t know how she contracted. On Feb. 12th, Kirya went to the ER with what she thought was a stomach flu. She’s since undergone 5 surgeries and is now in in-patient rehab, where she’s re-learning how to walk. Her life is irrevocably changed.

As a freelance worker she’s lost a large amount of her income for the year while hospitalized. She now has massive medical bills piling up as well. Her recovery journey is now just beginning and she needs your help.

We’re fundraising for:
2-6 months of living expenses (It’s unclear when Kirya will be able to work again)
Medical bills from the hospital stay
Physical therapy
Other ongoing medical treatments
