Please Support Payton!

Payton Kincaid, Camdenton Lady Laker, has never had the easiest of roads, but her road just recently got a little grimmer. Payton, now a junior, was raised in a single mom household most of her life. Her mom was always positive and encouraging regardless of their current circumstances. In a household of 4 children, Payton is the youngest, a good student, and an incredibly talented athlete.

Several years ago, well before the age of 16, Payton’s mom suffered from a stroke, which left her mother with minor paralysis on one side, but she was unable to ever drive again. Payton helped her mom cope with the new life she had, relying on friends & family to get rides to school and activities.

Then a few years later they discovered her mother had developed cancer. The last 2 years have been a long, hard fight battling a cancer that just would not stay gone for long. And in mid November she was taken off chemo & sent home for her remaining days.

On November 17th the Camdenton Lady Lakers basketball team opened up their 2020 season in their jamboree vs the Central Bulldogs. Payton played in her normal fashion, like a beast. Just 2 days later, on November 19th, her mother Allison, passed away.

Payton excels at most anything she sets her mind to, but has focused her athletic career in high school on volleyball & basketball, starting or playing as a varsity level player in both sports her entire high school career. Payton plays for the Camdenton High School athletic program, as well as travel teams Club Wave Volleyball and DD Elite & Southwest MO Blue Fury travel basketball programs. She has received numerous athletic awards already, has been a part of SWMO Basketball Future 50, and you can always bet she will be mentioned in media locally & on The O-Zone as a stat leader and an area player to watch for.

Lots of friends & area travel team members have reached out to see how they can help support their friend and teammate. This Go Fund Me account can add some additional support & peace of mind for this young lady to focus on finishing out her high school career and for her plans for post high school. Any donation for Payton Kincaid, fellow area athlete, is greatly appreciated, no matter what the amount.
