Welcome to my website, Helpsavekrystal.com. My name is Krystal Lamberton. I am 46 year old female. I have been super morbidly obese since childhood. My entire family is overweight. I graduated high school in 1978 at 250 pounds. I have tried everything to lose the weight with no success. At this time, I weigh almost 400 pounds. I had been working up until April of this year but after being on disability for six weeks due to the severe, increasing pain in my knees, my employer cancelled my health insurance and fired me. While I was insured I had been preparing to undergo a life-saving bariatric surgery and had already met with a nutritionist and mental heath provider. At this time, I am only eligible for basic adult care through my county (it does not cover this surgery) and I have no way of paying for it myself...
Since being unemployed, I have begun to feel helpless as my pain continues increasing each day. My health is deteriorating rapidly. I am to the point that I am almost unable to stand or walk. I have severe pain in my knees due to degenerative arthritis caused by my weight, edema (which causes my feet to swell badly), skin rashes, and excruciating back pain. I feel that if I do not get help with a bariatric surgery in the near future, I will be totally bedridden and in grave danger of losing my life. The last physician I saw confirmed this fact. She stated that “If you do not lose weight now, you will die.” If I don’t change my life now, I will be homebound and dependent on someone else to take care of me until I die.
My main concern is my 7 year old son. I want so badly to see him grow up. I am already living 3,000 miles apart from him due to my inability to care for him and prior addiction to pain pills I was using in an effort to control my physical pain. Marc Glen is a miracle. I was told for 20 years that I was unable to have children but I became pregnant when I was 39 years old. I am so thankful that my son is healthy and he is such a blessing but it breaks my heart that I am unable to care for him in my condition. I have only seen him one time in the last four years. He deserves a mother and I need to be there for him. I want so much to be able to go the park, play with him, take him to Disneyland, and just be an active part of his life.
I am not a deadbeat. I have worked all my life. I know there are many people out there that are in need but I would not ask if I was not in a desperate situation. I have written baratric surgeons and clinics all over the world and cannot find anyone willing to help me free of charge. That is why I am begging for your help. I need to raise at least $20,000 to pay for a bariatric procedure. I realize this is an unusual request but I am going to die if I don’t get help.
Some may call this cyber begging, online panhandling or other unattractive names but I consider it giving to charity. I know in my heart that there are good people out there with big hearts that believe in charity and are willing to help me to save my life. I am asking for any amount of donation you can give. I will keep you up-to-date on my life and progress I make towards my goal of changing my life. I realize that I am going to have to change my thinking and eating habits also. I take responsibility for my condition and am committed to changing my lifestyle to become a healthy person. PLEASE HELP ME !!!
