Hey friends, Makayla’s 18th birthday is this Saturday, and I really want to make it extra special for her this year. As many of you know, Makayla was in an accident 2.5 years ago, and she has shown so much strength and resilience since then. This milestone birthday means even more to us because of everything she’s overcome.

I’ve put together this GoFundMe for anyone who’s asked how they can help celebrate Makayla. Your support, whether it’s a donation, sharing this page, or simply sending love, means the world to us. Every bit will go toward making her birthday as memorable and joyful as possible—whether that’s a special experience, a gathering with friends, or anything that brings her happiness.

Absolutely no pressure at all—just knowing you’re thinking of Makayla is a gift in itself. If you’d like to celebrate with her in person, please feel free to reach out to me privately. Thank you so much for being part of our lives and for helping make this birthday one to remember for Makayla.
