Raylee is our bright, loving child who has always brought so much joy to our family. Just yesterday, our world turned upside down when a severe sinus infection caused her face to swell and left her unable to communicate. After rushing her to the ER, we learned that the infection had spread, causing an abscess in her left frontal lobe. The news was terrifying, and the last 24 hours have been a whirlwind of fear and hope as we fight to get Raylee the care she needs.
Raylee was life flighted to Anschutz Children's Hospital in Aurora, CO, where a dedicated neuro team and ENT specialists are working together to help her recover. Tonight, she will undergo surgery to drain the abscess and clear her sinuses, with the hope of preventing this from ever happening again. The medical teams have been incredible, and we are so grateful for their expertise and compassion. As parents, we are doing everything we can to support Raylee, but the mounting medical bills, the cost of the life flight, and the need for ongoing appointments and care are overwhelming.
We are reaching out to our community for help. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly toward Raylee’s medical expenses, including the surgeries, hospital stay, and future appointments with her specialists. Any support—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing our story—means the world to us. Thank you for keeping Raylee in your thoughts and prayers, and for standing with our family during this incredibly difficult time.
