Help Skye Shine: Medical Travel Support

Donation protected
Help Skye Keep Shining Through the Challenges ✨

Our girl Skye has overcome more in her young life than many do in a lifetime. Born at just 25 weeks, she spent the first 6 months of her life in the NICU fighting for every breath. Since then, Skye has continued to amaze us every day with her strength, resilience, and her love of all things Taylor Swift and glitter.

Skye lives with multiple complex medical conditions, including tethered cord syndrome, spina bifida, and autism. These diagnoses come with frequent appointments, therapies, and ongoing care. Most of her appointments are about an hour away, and the travel quickly adds up — both in time and cost.

We are currently in the process of trying to rule out even more serious conditions, including muscular dystrophy, lupus, lymphoma, or other potential causes behind her ongoing symptoms. These next steps are overwhelming, but necessary — and every test, specialist visit, and lab result is another piece of the puzzle.

We’re raising funds to help cover travel expenses related to her medical care — including gas, vehicle maintenance, and anything that helps get her to where she needs to be safely and comfortably.

Through it all, Skye continues to shine — dancing, singing, and spreading joy wherever she goes. She’s a warrior, a Swiftie, and our glitter-loving miracle.

We are forever grateful to everyone who has supported — and continues to support — Skye and our family through this difficult journey. Your kindness means more than words can ever say.
