KayleeStrong

Kaylee, my 17-year-old daughter, was diagnosed with a rare and very aggressive type of brain tumor in her spinal cord. The tumor has taken away her ability to move from the chest down, and now it’s growing into her brain stem, causing her to lose use of her arms. There is no treatment or cure for this disease in the United States, and there is very little research or funding available. I have spent countless hours researching and making thousands of calls, desperate to find hope for Kaylee. 

During her make a wish trip that didn’t get to happen she was hospitalized due to a blood clot. We are in the process of getting Kaylee accepted into a program that could help save her life .

The funds raised will help us cover travel expenses, and Kaylee’s treatments, and anything extra she may need while we’re away from the rest of our family. We are extremely grateful for everyone who has supported us through this tough and trying battle. We have so many people on our side, loving, praying, and supporting us—we couldn’t have done it without you all. We’re hoping this fundraiser reaches enough people so we can afford to pay for Kaylee to make this scary journey and, in hopes, receive what could be life-saving treatments
