Help Support Kaia's Recovery

Donation protected
One week ago, sweet 4-year-old Kaia was diagnosed with a rare and severe form of pneumonia and remains in the hospital fighting for her health. We organized this campaign to offer financial support to her family for the intensive treatments required to treat this disease. All donations will go towards supporting Kaia and her parents, Eric and Christine, while they face the physical, financial and emotional challenges of this time. 
 
Kaia had already been diagnosed with pneumonia and was on antibiotics before going back to the hospital, but the antibiotics were not working. When Eric and Christine took her to the ER the second time, she was declining rapidly and there was fear that she would not make it through the night. We later learned that this type of pneumonia forms air pockets and abscesses in the lungs, which don’t allow the antibiotics to penetrate and significantly impacts lung function, so it has been a fight to stabilize her. The family’s situation became more complicated when both Eric and Christine got too sick to stay in the hospital with Kaia, who requires 24/7 care. Thankfully, other family members have been able to offer support, and Eric and Christine are on their way to recovery at home after their own respective ER visits and admittance to hospital, but Kaia remains in the hospital.
 
Kaia continues making slow but steady progress. She is more or less stable, with occasional fever spikes that are getting milder and more spaced out (this is what we want to see!). If things continue this way then she will continue IV antibiotics for a while as her lungs heal. They’ve set expectations that this could take a few months.
 
In addition to the medical costs for the family, the long time expected for recovery will create a hardship for this family because she will continue to need 24/7 care for at least a few months, so we ask you to help support Kaia, Christine and Eric if you can. Every little bit helps. Donations can be anonymous. Please pass this along.
