HELLO!!!!!!! We all know and love Kylee and right now she needs our help. In September, Kylee travelled to St Louis with Anthony to see Taylor Swift on the Reputation World Tour when her appendix started rotting inside of her body. This meant that she had to go to the emergency room the night before the show and ended up not being able to see Taylor. Kylee loves Taylor so much and Taylor has been there for her through really hard times over the last few years, so it was devastating.
However, her worries were far from over. Her appendix issue was the worst that her surgeon had ever seen, causing the infection to leak into other parts of her body and making Kylee borderline septic which nearly landed her in the ICU. So after the operation, Kylee took a long time to heal, her antibiotics weren’t working, and they had to put a tube in my stomach and a PICC line in her arm which lasted for weeks and put her pretty much out of commission for way longer than most people would have been. This was obviously a painful and depressing and all around terrible experience which nobody deserves, but especially not Kylee.
At the time she had health insurance through her work, but she no longer works at that particular job so she now has had to depend on government funded insurance, which is, to be frank, terrible. Her bills total over $42,000. She can’t afford it. She was worrying to me about what she’s going to do and I suggested making a gofundme, but she said she could never ask people for money. Well, I’m asking for her. Kylee is not and has never been wealthy but since I’ve known her she’s been generous to a fault, always sharing what little she has with others. Only just recently a mutual friend had a loved one pass away very unexpectedly and, despite having all this debt, Kylee organised for us all to send this person flowers so they knew we were thinking of them. She’s always thinking of others and what she can do to make people’s lives better and I think it’s about time for us others to do the same for her.
Don’t worry if you can’t donate much (or at all), just know that every little bit helps. Please donate if you’re able to. Kylee almost didn’t even let me make this because she felt so guilty about asking people for money but that’s exactly why she deserves it.
