Support the Smith Family

The Smith family is in need of our love and support as they start the fight of a lifetime for their 9-year-old daughter, Kyra.

Kyra is battling an inoperable brain tumor which was discovered after she experienced neurological symptoms. A five-hour long MRI and other tests revealed a mass on Kyra's brain stem. Kyra's family and medical team are trying to match Kyra with the appropriate treatment location and treatment plan.

Kyra is a twin sister to Brenna and younger sister to Audra. She is spunky, funny, and so incredibly sweet. She loves her friends, her new puppy, and most of all her family. Jason and Cindy are amazing parents and are friends to so many in Libertyville and beyond. The Smith family has an army of love behind them, and we know that with the help of their friends, family and the Libertyville community, Kyra will overcome this diagnosis.

This all seems so unfair and eerie after the passing of our sweet friend, Charlote Frank, from cancer recently. The Smiths are still reeling, with Charlotte's family and friends, from that loss. We know the power of community and are asking for support through this fund to help cover Kyra's care, medical bills, commutes to her medical team, and so many other expenses that are sure to arise.

Thank you for your support, generosity and love. The Smith family truly appreciates it.
