Hi, my name is Erin Ponton and I am starting this go fund me for my best friend Kelsey Dufner and her family to help with the expense of medical bills for their daughter McKinley.❤️

McKinley is a sweet, smart & strong little warrior that has been absolutely rocking her journey with Spina Bifida, the last 4 years.

McKinley’s Recent imaging studies show some significant changes in her skull and spine anatomy that are requiring a complex set of procedures that will be combined into an extensive surgery to correct in order to relieve the pressure that is being pressed on her brain stem. Thankfully the symptoms she has been experiencing have been slow progressing and minimal compared to how severe they can become over time. She is home now for the remainder of the holidays which is a huge blessing! Her Surgery is scheduled for January 20th, 2023 . The Doctors have said to expect a lengthy recovery period in which we’re praying goes smoothly.

We know it is hard to give during the Holiday season, we are thankful for any donation to go towards helping relieve some of the medical expenses for The Dufner Family.
