Hi, my name is Kaitie. I’m a single mom to a wonderful teenage son who is currently balancing both high school and college classes. I’m the sole provider for our little family, which also includes our three sweet dogs. Normally, I manage to keep everything moving forward, but right now we’re facing a season that’s heavier than usual.
Just here in August, I had surgery on my right arm after a work-related accident. Now, I need another surgery for a different health issue I’ve been dealing with. The timing of it all has been overwhelming, and while I’ll receive some income during recovery, it will only be 60% of my usual pay. That leaves a gap I can’t cover alone. I am out now, and estimated recovery has me out the rest of the year, through December.
I’ve calculated that about $3,850 would help us stay afloat—covering rent, groceries, and bills—so I can focus on healing and be there for my son while he pushes forward in school. My goal is simply to bridge this short period until I can get back to handling everything on my own again.
Asking for help isn’t easy, but I know sometimes we all need a little support to get through. If you’re able to donate, any amount—big or small—will make a real difference for us. And if you can’t donate, sharing this page or keeping us in your thoughts would mean the world.
Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and encouragement. 💙
With gratitude,
Kaitie, kiddo and the Pack
