Hello my name is Jessica, I am asking for help from the community, friends and family. Let's pull together and make this happen for a family that is so deserving of this. Please read below

Help Us Make a Dream Come True for a Loving Mother and Her Brave Daughter

We are reaching out with heavy hearts and hopeful spirits. A devoted mother has been dreaming of her wedding, planned for October, but time is not on their side. Her sweet young daughter, Kinsley, only 12 years old, is battling Diffuse Leptomeningeal Glioneuronal Neoplasm (DLGNT)—a rare and aggressive brain cancer that has relentlessly come back stronger each time. We want to make sure she gets to see her mom walk down the aisle, she has been looking forward to this and so excited for this day to come.

Kinsley has endured more than any child should—numerous blood transfusions, chemotherapy, radiation, and multiple brain surgeries. She has been hospitalized countless times, fighting with unimaginable strength. Through it all, her parents Keith and Brandy have been by her side, working endlessly to care for their family and provide the best possible life for their little girl.

Now, we want to come together as a community to give this mother the wedding she has always dreamed of, while Kinsley is still able to be there with her. This family has been fighting tirelessly to care for Kinsley, and now we want to come together to give them a beautiful wedding – a moment of love and joy amidst this unimaginable hardship.

Brandy and Scott are the type of people who never ask for help and would never do so now—but this is our chance as a community to step in, lift them up, and take the stress of planning a wedding and the financial burden off their shoulders. We want them to be able to focus completely on Kinsley and her health while we make this dream wedding happen.

After speaking with her Oncologist today she has also advised that timelines need to be pushed up, she will be receiving lots of treatments including radiation starting next week until the end of April.

By supporting this go-fund me you are not only helping fund the wedding but you are also helping Kinsley's family and mostly Kinsley during these very unpredictable, unknowing times. They would love to be able to fulfill Kinsley's dreams and wishes of attending her beach vacation that was planned for June but may need to be pushed up as well. This family is never ones to ask for help but I am hoping as a community we can all pull together to help give this beautiful 12 year old child all of her dreams and wishes. She has fought the fight that no child or parent should ever have to endure, she has endlessly been given horrible news and outcomes and this is the time to give her the comfort and fun she deserves. We are trying to relieve her family of any expenses during this time.

Financial Donations to help cover costs and support this family in their time of need. Every donation, every share, and every bit of kindness will help.
