On January 9, 2020 heaven gained another angel. Katerina, “Katie”, Prybyla was not only a breakout actress and model, but the most genuine friend to all who had the honor of meeting her. Katie’s last adventure was spent exploring Europe when she suddenly fell ill with the flu. Her love, Carlos, flew over to Switzerland and took her to the hospital. Further complications led Katie to a relentless fight for her life. Katie gave absolutely everything that she could, but ultimately was unable to defeat the rising infection in her system.   

Katie’s parents, Stan and Patrice, her big sister, Alix, and boyfriend, Carlos, are all incredibly overcome with grief. Unfortunately, the growing expenses are becoming too much for any one family to bear and we are asking for the help of our extended family and friends. Aside from the lost part of our hearts, the reality of tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills, transportation expenses from Switzerland, and memorial considerations still loom over us. 

Please help us relieve some of the pain facing the Prybyla/Metoyer family as they mourn the loss of their baby girl. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help and would mean the world to our entire family. If you are unable to donate monetarily, please consider sharing your influence by telling others Katie’s story. It takes a village, and we are grateful for each and every member of our ever-growing community. 

Through this all, let us remember Katie in life, rather than death. She housed a beautiful soul that is second to none and a glow that radiated across cities. Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, and love.

All donations made will go directly to Katie's parents, Stan and Patrice, to help cover some of the growing medical, transportation, and memorial costs that they are facing.

Note: Katie is my childhood best friend and I am beyond thankful for all of the support this community has given all of us. All of the donations raised are going directly to Katie's parents and will be used towards medical bills that were not covered by insurance, funeral and mortuary service, travel expenses.
