Shayla Basington and her husband Bart have always been there for others, caring for Shayla’s mother and supporting friends whenever they were needed. Their kindness and generosity have touched many lives, and now, as Shayla faces a difficult recovery from open heart surgery, it’s our turn to support them.

After years of giving so much to her loved ones and community, Shayla’s health took a turn and she needed open heart surgery. The road to recovery is never easy, especially as medical bills, rent, and utilities add up. Shayla and Bart are doing their best to stay positive, but they could use a helping hand from those who care about them.

We’re reaching out to our Oregon County Fair family and everyone who knows Shayla and Bart. Your support—whether it’s a donation or a message of encouragement—will mean the world to them during this challenging time. Please join us in lifting them up and showing that their kindness has not gone unnoticed.
