Support Kirya Traber's Medical Recovery

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 couple of months in and out of 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 in-patient rehab, where she had to re-learn how to walk. Two months later, she's still fighting this infection. 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
