Donation Options

By joining this medical fundraiser, you will not only save a life, but you can also learn a great deal from Kimberly during her recovery journey that could improve the quality of your life.

All funds are being managed in a trust, to assure that these funds will only be used for medical related expenses. — Donations of ANY amount also sends a message of hope and solidarity to Kimberly and others living with similar health concerns.

Your Donation Options

  1. GoFundMe (a public fundraiser) (Link here)  This is where most updates will happen until I have the ability to manage diverse email lists for more private communication.
  2. Online via PayPal  (private donations, one time or recurrent) (Most cost effective platform, but they are ending personal fundraisers in 2025) (Link here)
  3. By Check (Please address check to Bill Williams and mail to Kim Carr, 4460 Redwood Hwy #16377 San Rafael, CA 94903)
  4. Payment Directly to the Dental Service Provider (Option available after 12/16/24)
  5. If 501C3 tax deductions are required to assist, we will be accepting donations at H.O.P.E. For Healing Institute for much needed hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
  6. Consider donating an item(s) to a raffle fundraiser at a radio station:  This is currently being organized and not yet announced.  Please email Kimberly for details.

ACCOUNTING SUMMARY

NOT TAX DEDUCTIBLE UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED

It looks like surgery is going to be delayed until January due to slow fundraising and lack of ability to do as much outreach as I need to reach my goal.

November 2024

  • 11/11-15/24 $1,250 Pre-Op Consultation and Travel Expenses (Not Tax Deductible)
  • 11/25-29/24 $1,833  (Tax Deductible) Hyperbaric Oxygen – 6 weeks, 5 days a week, 2 hours a day in a pressurized tube! Used to be covered by Medicare insurance until 2015 when the ICD codes changed.  There are insurance policies that will cover this, but NOT Medi-Care.

I think it would be lovely at the end of this recovery journey to invite donors to a “Celebration of Life Party.” (Not the kind associated with funerals, but rather a VICTORY PARTY!)

I would like to offer reward to every participant in this fundraiser, as a token of my appreciation.  I need about a week to really put some thought behind that, so that is can be something that will be genuinely appreciated.

To those who chose to share their abundance with me, thank you!!!


I would be so grateful to be empowered to get back on my surfboard and make some great things happen before the sun sets on my life.
