Erin Keir got an undeniable pull to move with her son closer to nature after his unexpected diagnosis of kidney failure in July 2017.

In October 2018 Erin, Bailey and her mom Shar packed up from Toronto and moved cross country. Since their arrival in Victoria Erin has made incredible bonds at Yoga Lab and many other yoga/health & fitness communities.

We are deeply grateful to have her part of our sangha. We are also grateful to be able to help during this challenging time in the next phase of their lives.

A LITTLE ABOUT WHY WE ARE RAISING FUNDS FOR ERIN AND BAILEY:

Bailey who is 25 is said to be a walking miracle. He was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease in 2017.

His physical body has recently started to show signs of deterioration and the doctor and palliative care nurse confirmed that his time was limited and could be as soon as August. Bailey decided he had more places to travel to and adventures to experience so he opted for dialysis. They inserted a temporary catheter in his chest and 3 times a week he is hooked up to a machine in the hospital for 4 hours each session. He is now working with the hospital to get a fistula permanently inserted into his arm.

WHAT WILL THESE FUNDS HELP COVER?

Friends of Erin have set their family up with a Good Food Box that delivers meals ready to prepare that have been helpful in making sure Erin’s time is focused on healthy food and time with her family. The cost is about $200/week and it would be lovely to make sure there are enough weeks covered that their family can remain focused on spending time together. Any additional funds raised will be shared with Erin and Bailey which will help with their limited ability to work right now.

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH YOUR ONE WILD AND PRECIOUS LIFE?

Tuning into the frequency of gratitude as we navigate this next chapter of Bailey’s journey. Please send copious amounts of love, prayers and strength. Any donation is greatly appreciated.
