Support Katie's Journey to Recovery

While at a work conference in Las Vegas, our mom, Kathleen DeLeiter, sustained a life-threatening injury under circumstances still currently unknown to us. She was found unresponsive outside her hotel and rushed to the nearest hospital, unable to breathe on her own. There, doctors learned that she could no longer move her extremities due to suffering severe injuries to her spinal cord.

After two intense surgeries, Katie is in recovery in an ICU in Las Vegas but is still experiencing total paralysis from her neck down. Through great fortune, she has been accepted to the top rehabilitation hospital in the country; however, the cost of transportation to the facility (in her current condition) has proven to be the barrier to her entry there. Our family would be incredibly grateful for any donation you provide to help us achieve our goal of $40,000 to get her there. This money would go directly towards funding Katie’s transfer flight from Las Vegas to Chicago as well as other costs associated with her care.

Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a world of difference in lightening the financial burden placed on our family in this trying time.

We appreciate your love and support,

Shelby & Eddie (the DeLeiter children)
