Kyla’s Medical & Bills

AUG 21 UPDATE: kyla has been getting great care in the hospital and has a great team working on figuring it all out. She had been making great progress recently with some improvement, but has been experiencing a backslide / decline last night and today as things move forward with her treatment and recovery (nothing is linear!)

Thank you to everyone for your kind words, empathy, support and donations. You have no idea how much this all means to her and the people who love her!

I would like to kindly ask to refrain from unsolicited medical or dietary advice on her socials or messages, it’s overwhelming for her and we have a team of experts helping her and are staying private with the specifics on here until it feels safe for kyla to discuss.

thank YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!!!!

UPDATE: WOW YOU GUYS. Thank you all for your words of support and donations. Kyla is feeling so supported now in her time of need! The fact that we reached our goal in 3 hours says so much about this community.

Kyla has been through a plethora of tests and they are narrowing down her diagnosis. The supports and meds she’s been getting in the hospital is already helping her feel better. The team looking after her and getting to the bottom of this all is so good.

I will be updating more here as we go. Kyla can’t respond to messages quite yet but w she she is so grateful and feels the love.

I’m Heather, Kyla’s friend and co-worker. Myself and Kyla’s mom, Jackie, have created this go-fund-me to help our dear Kyla with some much needed financial backing while she is in medical crisis.

Her health has been deteriorating for months, with little to no support or answers from doctors, and really long wait times for the right diagnostics. Her symptoms recently got scary and severe enough to have her admitted for a while, and she is finally starting to get the care she needs. They are in the middle of finding out what is happening, and she will likely be in for a while.

Kyla has not been able to stand, work, eat, or do much of anything lately, and has been in severe pain (not to mention several other symptoms that NO ONE wants.) As self employed artists, we are not eligible for unemployment insurance, and so when crisis like this happen, we are in trouble. Kyla needs some support to help her cover her expenses and bills while she is in care and during her convalescence.

If you are able to help, please donate- even a small amount helps. She is scared and dealing with the medical stuff is more than enough, without also worrying about how she will pay for her expenses.

Thanks so much for reading and for your support! If you’re connected, send her messages of encouragement- I know they mean a lot to her.
