Assist Kyle's Journey Back to Health

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

I’m reaching out to share the story of my dear family friend, Kyle Bauman, and to rally your support during an incredibly challenging time. On April 10, 2025, Kyle was involved in a devastating truck accident that left him with multiple injuries. As a single father raising two children, Kyle now faces a long road to recovery, unable to work for the foreseeable future. This fundraiser is my way of standing by Kyle, my son’s lifelong best friend and coworker, to ensure he and his family have the support they need to get through this ordeal.

Kyle has always been a pillar of strength for his family. He’s the kind of person who would give the shirt off his back to help someone in need. Seeing him face this hardship—physical pain, financial strain, and the challenge of providing for his children—has moved me to act. As someone close to Kyle and his family, I feel compelled to advocate for him when he’s unable to do so himself. This fundraiser is a way to show Kyle that he’s not alone and that our community has his back.

I’ve set a fundraising goal of $10,000 to help alleviate the financial burdens Kyle is facing. This amount will be used to:

Pay for hospital bills, ongoing treatments, and rehabilitation costs to support Kyle’s recovery. Ensure Kyle can keep up with rent/mortgage, utilities, and other essential expenses while he’s unable. Help cover daily necessities like food, clothing, and school-related costs for his two children, so they can maintain stability during this difficult time.

Every dollar raised will go directly to Kyle and his family to help them navigate this crisis without the added stress of financial uncertainty. On behalf of Kyle and his children, I want to express my deepest gratitude for any support you can offer—whether it’s a donation, a prayer, or simply sharing this fundraiser with others. Your generosity will make a tangible difference in their lives, providing hope and relief during one of the toughest moments they’ve faced. Kyle is too proud to ask for help himself, so I’m humbly stepping up to share his story and needs with you. Please consider spreading the word on social media, via email, or by word of mouth to help us reach our goal.

Thank you for taking the time to read Kyle’s story and for being part of the community that lifts him up. Together, we can help Kyle focus on healing and caring for his children without the weight of financial worry.

With heartfelt thanks,

Darlene Taylor
