Hi, my name is Taylor and I’m creating this fundraiser on behalf of my friend, Kaelie Littrell.
I first met Kaelie through Facebook and over time she became part of my village. As a single mom myself, there were many times I needed help with my kids, and Kaelie stepped in without hesitation. She has been such a blessing in my life, and now it’s my turn to step up and support her through one of the hardest challenges she’s ever faced.
Kaelie is only 27 years old, a wife, and a stay-at-home mom to two beautiful little boys, ages 2 and 3. She was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 8, and after two difficult pregnancies, her kidneys began to fail. She is now in stage 5 chronic kidney disease and in desperate need of a kidney transplant.
Her doctors are preparing for her surgery, which may take place in Cincinnati. This means her family will face not only the emotional weight of the transplant but also heavy financial strain. Kaelie’s husband, Casey, is the main provider for their household, and he will need to take time off work to support her through recovery. At the same time, they will have to cover gas, food, and hotel stays as Kaelie will need to travel 2–3 times a week for 30 days post-surgery, and possibly stay near the hospital depending on how her recovery goes.
I’ve created this GoFundMe to help ease the financial burden for Kaelie and her family so that they can focus on healing. Every dollar raised will go toward travel, gas, food, and lodging during her transplant and recovery process.
If you’re not able to give financially, please consider sharing this fundraiser so that more people can learn about Kaelie’s story. Your support, whether through donations or prayers, means the world.
Kaelie has been a light to so many people, and I want nothing more than to see her get the second chance at life she deserves. Thank you for reading her story and for supporting her in any way you can! All donations will go directly to Kaelie, who will manage and use the funds for her transplant-related expenses.
