Help Kayla Heal: Fund Her Brain Rehab

In November of 2023, Kayla was assaulted and left with head trauma and a concussion that has resulted in an arachnoid cyst forming on her brain due to the injury.

She began seeking medical attention due to the symptoms she was experiencing: headaches, constant dizziness, nausea, balance issues, numbness in limbs, disorientation, light sensitivity, and fainting spells.

Since then, the cyst has continued to grow in size, pressing on her frontal lobe and creating even more symptoms, such as hand tremors, petit mal seizures, memory loss, extreme confusion, and personality changes. These symptoms have made it difficult for her to tend to daily life with her family, kids, and business as she normally would.

She is being seen by a neurological team in Portland that is hopeful about the treatment and management of symptoms while she awaits brain surgery early this summer, hopefully sooner.

Her team of doctors currently recommends a week-long intensive brain therapy rehabilitation program to aid in repairing the broken neuro pathways (and stop the degeneration of further pathways) that are currently responsible for some of the more debilitating symptoms she is experiencing caused by the concussion and brain cyst. This therapy will aid in lessening the symptoms she is currently experiencing and hopefully make life a little smoother for herself and her family while they await surgery.

This rehabilitation therapy is not covered by her insurance and is beyond what they can currently afford to cash flow out of pocket. The program is $3,000 that is due by April 7th and an additional $10,124 due by the end of April. She will need to stay in Portland for one week for the program and will also need childcare back home for her children during this time, on top of the financial costs related to being able to continue to operate her childcare facility while she is out and unable to be there herself.

We are humbly reaching out for support for her and her family at this time and to assist in the medical attention she will need. Thank you for all of your love and support during this difficult time.
