Raleigh was born in November 2025 with Congenital Talipes Equinovarus (CTEV), a genetic condition that affects her right leg. From the very beginning, Raleigh has needed weekly casting to help correct the abnormality, and she is scheduled for surgery on January 9, 2026, to stretch her ligaments. After surgery, she will need to wear a brace that reaches from one ankle to the other for the next 3-4 years. This journey is just beginning for Raleigh and her family, and it will require ongoing care, patience, and support.

Before Raleigh was born, her mother Kayla worked full time in the healthcare sector and had maintained insurance through her company for five years. Unfortunately, when her employer switched to a new insurance provider, Kayla’s pregnancy was classified as a pre-existing condition. This left Kayla and her husband without coverage for Raleigh’s medical needs, forcing them to rely on a single income. The financial burden of a mortgage, daily living expenses, and the mounting medical bills has placed a tremendous strain on the family during an already stressful and emotional time.

Any prayers and support would be deeply appreciated. With much love and the strength of our community, we hope to help Raleigh and her family through this time of need, anxiety, and confusion. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference in their lives as they navigate this challenging journey.
