Five Months Later: A Story of Hope & Gratitude

Dear friends, and everyone who has supported me,
It has been a few months since I last reached out and shared an update about my health journey, and I wanted to take a moment to let you know where I am today.
After five intense months in the countryside, where I received treatment for a serious condition affecting my uterus, I have finally returned to the city. Those months were some of the most difficult and uncertain of my life. The bleeding I was experiencing became so severe that my life was genuinely at risk, and there were moments when I wasn’t sure what the future would hold.
Through all of this, your generosity became a light during a very dark time.
Because of the support I received through my GoFundMe campaign, I was able to continue with the treatment and care I desperately needed. Your contributions helped me move through that dangerous chapter and brought me to a place where, little by little, I can begin to feel like myself again and start rebuilding a more normal life.
I am not completely out of the woods yet. The severe blood loss left me with anemia, and I still need additional iron infusions, daily iron supplements, and further medical examinations to make sure my body is recovering properly. I am now in the final stage of my treatment, and I am hopeful that with continued care, I will be able to regain my strength and fully move forward.
I honestly don’t have enough words to express what your kindness has meant to me.
There is something profoundly humbling about being carried by the generosity of others when you are at your most vulnerable. Every donation, every share, every message, every prayer, and every kind thought reminded me that I was not alone.
I truly believe that your support helped me get through a time when I was fighting to simply be here. And for that, I will carry an enormous amount of gratitude in my heart.
It has now been two weeks since I left the place where I was staying throughout my treatment, and I am still facing medical and living expenses as I continue this final part of my recovery. So, once again, I am humbly asking for your support.
If you are able to donate, any amount—no matter how small—can make a meaningful difference. If you aren’t in a position to donate, sharing my campaign or simply sending me a kind message means more than you may realize.
Thank you for believing in me, for helping me when I needed it most, and for being part of this journey. I am deeply, deeply grateful to each and every one of you.
With love, gratitude, and hope,
Crissi Rueda ❤
