Help Support McKalya’s Recovery Journey

Two years ago, my daughter Kayla’s life was forever changed in a devastating car crash. She suffered a traumatic brain injury and was left paralyzed on her left side including her organs. Since then, she has fought with unimaginable strength to regain as much independence as possible, enduring countless doctor visits, therapies, and hospital stays.

Recently, Kayla faced serious complications that landed her back in the hospital. What we thought might be a short stay has now turned into the expectation of up to three months in the hospital. While the medical team works tirelessly to get her stronger, I need to be by her side 24/7.

Because of her brain injury, Kayla is extremely impulsive and cannot be left alone in her hospital room. I’ve had to step away from work so I can care for her, and the financial strain is overwhelming.

This GoFundMe is to help us cover:

• Lost income from missed work while I stay with Kayla

• Gas, food, and lodging costs during her extended hospital stay

• Shoes, clothing, and equipment not covered by insurance that she will need for physical therapy and daily care

• Household bills that still need to be paid while we’re in the hospital

Kayla is a fighter. Every day, she inspires me with her determination to push through pain and keep going. But this journey is not one we can walk alone.

If you’re able to give, please know that no amount is too small. Every donation helps lift a heavy burden and allows me to focus on what matters most—being by Kayla’s side and supporting her recovery.

❤️ If you’re unable to give financially, please keep Kayla in your prayers and share this GoFundMe. Your support in any form means the world to us.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your prayers, kindness, and generosity.

With gratitude,

Karen (Kayla’s mom)
