The Payne family desperately needs our support for Doug and Amy's daughter Taylor!

Taylor has a severe brain injury.

She spent 30 days in the ICU, 2 and 1/2 of those weeks on a ventilator and in an induced coma, due to a stroke and subsequent brain bleed following a medical procedure.

Taylor then needed brain surgery to repair, so had a craniotomy.

Tearing up as I type, we thought we were going to loose her.

But Taylor is a fighter and pulled through.

Taylor has a long road ahead, was medivaced to a brain injury rehab facility in Chicago, where she's been for almost 5 weeks as of this writing. Her amazing sister Dylan has put her life on hold to be with her so dad can work and mom can be home with Taylor's 10 year old brother Grayson, who can't wait to see his big sister come home!

Mom and dad want to see their girl home and thriving.

She is scheduled to come home in another month, and will need a handicapped accessible living environment.

The Payne's are working to swap their 2 story, no basement access home for a single story with basement access that can be modified to handicapped accessible.

The Paynes would like to thank everyone for their assistance, messages and prayers through this heartbreaking chapter of their beloved daughter's life.

As the family has already been dealing with other health issues and related medical bills, every bit of your care has been appreciated.

With Taylor's catastrophic health crisis, of course insurance has not come close to covering.

Money raised will go toward accessibility renovations, transport and care of Taylor, rehab and equipment not covered, bills that have accrued, etc.

I'm looking forward to seeing the spunky, bright, articulate girl I watched grow up beat the odds and achieve more than anyone can imagine!

Her goals were built around fighting for others, and now we have to fight for her.

Taylor had graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Criminology & Criminal Justice at Arizona State University, and was working remotely on her Master’s of Arts in Emergency Management and Homeland Security at ASU.

She may have to figure out how to carry on her mission in a way other than she had imagined, but I have faith that she will find a way.

The Paynes need our help now to give Taylor the best chance possible!
