I honestly am not sure how to start, and as I’m thinking about all I’m going through this last month, I’m crying…again, which happens a lot lately! Let me start by saying hello, my name is Kylie, and on May 16th, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. My youngest son had been telling me for months to go to the emergency room because of my daily symptoms. I have been experiencing vertigo, memory loss, insomnia, migraines, blurred vision (which then turned into loss of vision), and more. I honestly chalked it up to being stressed and sleep-deprived; with two full-time jobs, a single mom of three sons with no support, and going back to school full-time, working towards a college degree after finally getting out of a 14-year abusive marriage. I’m a believer in the one true God, and I cried out to Him for a miraculous healing from my current diagnosis and confessed with my mouth and believe with my heart that God will heal me! Two weeks after my first brain MRI, I had a second one done, and instead of it being gone, it showed growth. To say I was devastated is an understatement! I say this to be transparent in my journey and struggle, not to discredit my Lord and His miraculous abilities. He is a God of miracles, and I still know He will guide me, direct me, and bring me healing…it just may not be in the way I had expected or anticipated.
I have brain surgery scheduled for next Thursday, the 26th, with Dr. Robert Macdonald at Community Regional Medical Center. I have always been independent and never had to ask for financial support, until now. I applied for disability and was denied. I’m going to work on an appeal, but it will take time, which is what I don’t have currently. With being a single mom and having no financial support, I felt it necessary to ask for your support financially through fundraiser. If you’re able to assist me financially, that would be a huge blessing and greatly appreciated. Your donations would help with being off of work with no income and for any out-of-pocket medical bills/costs.
I would also like to ask that you all pray for me! Please keep me and any and all members of the procedure: nursing staff, surgical team, hospital staff, anesthesiologist, and my surgeon (Dr. Macdonald). Please pray for God & the Holy Spirit to work in and through them, in order for me to have a miraculous surgery (remove tumor in its entirety with one surgery)… & for a miraculously speedy and complete recovery!
