Karissa is battling a rare and debilitating neurological condition, including a cranial CSF leak, hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, dysautonomia, empty sella syndrome, syrinx, Chiari malformation, intracranial hypertension, and chronic intractable headaches. These conditions cause severe pain, neurological dysfunction, and daily challenges that significantly impact quality of life.  

After exhausting conventional treatments, Karissa is seeking stem cell therapy and hyperbaric oxygen treatments, which offer hope for healing but are not covered by insurance. This fundraiser aims to raise the necessary funds for these life-changing treatments. Every donation, no matter the size, brings Karissa one step closer to relief and recovery. Please consider donating or sharing to help make a difference.
