Kayla Moore Medical/Memorial Fund
Donation protected
We are the Love, Family, and Friends of Kayla Samples-Moore. We are raising money to help with funeral/memorial arrangements for this beautiful woman who is leaving behind a young family, including 6 children, 1 to 9 years of age.
The afternoon of May 7th, as many were preparing for what would be Mother’s Day 2016, Kayla made a call for a ride home from the emergency room she had been transported to by ambulance earlier. She was treated for her symptoms and discharged. For her sister who sent her husband to pick Kayla up, it would be the last time we would hear Kayla’s voice. While waiting for her ride, it seems Kayla suffered a traumatic brain injury resulting from the condition known as an Arnold–Chiari Malformation, herniating her brain and causing her to collapse instantly, never to recover.
In the hours and days to follow, test would show that her condition would be irreversible concluding in this family’s biggest fear, coming to the ultimate conclusion to prepare for the worst, loss of life.
Arnold Chiari Malformation is indeed a malformation of the brain, which in simplicity, allows the lower part of the cerebellum (cerebellar tonsils) herniate or try to drop through the opening at the base of the skull (foramen magnum), in Kayla’s case cutting blood and fluid supply to her brain from a sudden build up in pressure.
Upon learning of her condition, the twenty six year old frantically tried securing life insurance, to no avail. As many are aware it is hard to obtain life insurance if at all, when you have a pre-condition. The family recounts her countless calls, visits and even the return of her deposit in her search to secure insurance. A condition of this magnitude opened her eyes as well as our eyes to the reality that if times came to worse she would need help. It was her hope that a solution could be found before it was too late.
Today, our family has come together to help support her children, taking turns caring and overseeing their well-being. The father of her children, siblings, Kayla’s father, extended family have been dealing with the news of this transition in hers and our lives. We are asking for help. At the conclusion of all test we were prompted to make funeral arrangements. So today this gofundme is to make those most urgent arrangements in funeral or memorial and any medical arrangements on Kayla’s behalf.
UPDATE: Due to Kayla's Irreversable condition and newer complications, May 13th at approximately, 7pm EST, our Kayla was taken off the life-support to wholely transition from our arms, but not our hearts and minds.
Please continue to pray, support, and even give as her young family needs the family, friends and the community now more than ever. Again, we are a praying family, and asking for your prayers of comfort, peace and strength as we continue to grasp this new and very real reality.
For this gofundme any amount can be donated, and please think of your memories of Kayla and her family in your giving.
With Perpetual gratitude the Family of Kayla Samples-Moore.
