<div>Hi, my name is Cassie, and I’m creating this GoFundMe on behalf of my friend and co-worker Christie and her 14-year-old daughter, Kailani whose life changed in an instant.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>She was hospitalized after her lungs collapsed and began filling with fluid. During testing, doctors discovered a tumor and from there, the unimaginable news followed. Kailani was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive soft tissue cancer.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Since her diagnosis, Kailani has already endured multiple surgeries and procedures, including having a tube placed to help drain fluid from her lungs. Her treatment plan is intense and long-term. She will undergo chemotherapy once a week for a minimum of 10 months, along with five days of radiation. This journey is physically, emotionally, and financially overwhelming especially for a family with six children.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Kailani is one of six siblings — three sisters and two brothers — and she plays a meaningful role in their lives. She is especially loving and supportive to her younger sister who has Type 1 diabetes. Kailani is a deep thinker with a kind heart, gentle spirit, and a creative soul. She loves art, crafts, designing her own clothes and shoes, listening to music, watching anime and K-dramas, and expressing herself creatively. She is a wonderful daughter, sister, and person in every sense of the word.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Christie, her mom, is doing everything she can to be by Kailani’s side. Kailani is receiving treatment in Akron, which requires multiple trips each week for chemotherapy, radiation, follow-ups, and procedures. The cost of gas, travel, meals, time off work, and medical-related expenses adds up quickly and has become a heavy burden during an already devastating time.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>All funds raised will go directly to Christie to help cover:


</div>


<div>•	Travel expenses to and from Akron


</div>


<div>•	Gas and vehicle wear from frequent trips


</div>


<div>•	Medical-related costs not covered by insurance


</div>


<div>•	Daily living expenses while caring for Kailani


</div>
<div>• Income replacement for Christie and her household from her missing work
</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Every donation , no matter the amount , helps relieve some of the financial stress so Christie can focus on what matters most: being present for her daughter and helping Kailani fight this battle.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Kailani and her family in your thoughts and prayers. Your support, love, and kindness mean more than words can express!


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Thank you for helping surround this family with hope during the hardest chapter of their lives!


</div>
