Kylee’s Brain Surgery Expenses
Donation protected
I’m starting this campaign for a lifelong family friend of mine, who I’m sure many of you know and love.
When Kylee was only eight years old she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. She had surgery to place a shunt in her brain and until this past February hasn’t had any real issues with it.
In February her shunt failed and she had to have surgery to have it replaced. This past week while traveling with her boyfriend, Kylee became confused and disoriented. Thankfully Drew knew to take her to the emergency room. Ultimately the doctors discovered that her shunt had failed again and she had to have another brain surgery. Due to a brain bleed caused by the removal of the failed shunt, the doctors had to also leave a drain in her brain.

Kylee has been having excruciating headaches and memory loss, and has a long road ahead of her.
Our $10,000 goal will not begin to come close to the cost of the surgery in February and the one this week, not to mention ambulance rides and lost wages for Kylee and her mom who has been with her and missed work since this happened.
Please help this sweet girl during this extremely stressful time.
Any donation amount is greatly appreciated!
