Hello friends, family, and kind supporters,

I’m reaching out on behalf of a very special little girl, Josephine, who is just 4 years old. She is bright, curious, and full of love — but she also faces extraordinary challenges. Josephine lives with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), which has meant countless doctor visits, surgeries, therapies, and obstacles most of us could never imagine for a child so young.

Despite these challenges, she continues to amaze everyone with her courage and determination. She smiles, she learns, and she inspires everyone who meets her.

My dream is to make sure that when Josephine grows, she has the same opportunities as other children — including access to education and lifelong learning. We want to create a college fund / educational trust to help provide stability and hope for her future.

This GoFundMe is about planting a seed for tomorrow:

- To ensure that when she’s ready, resources are there for college, training, or specialized education.

- To show her that she has a community that believes in her potential.

- To give her family peace of mind knowing her future is being supported.

Every contribution — no matter how big or small — will go directly into her college/education fund. We are shooting for $100,000. Even if you cannot donate, sharing this campaign is an incredible way to help.

Thank you for helping us invest in her future and showing her that love, community, and hope are stronger than any obstacle. Together, we can give Josephine the gift of possibility, hope and love.

With gratitude,

Curt Taylor (friend of Josephine’s father Mike Puterbaugh - shown in picture)
