Kaylee, a 17-year-old high school student at Osceola, was diagnosed with a rare and very aggressive type of brain tumor in her spinal cord. The tumor has taken away her ability to move from the chest down, and now it’s growing into her brain stem, causing her to lose use of her arms. There is no treatment or cure for this disease in the United States, and there is very little research or funding available. Her family has spent countless hours researching and making thousands of calls, desperate to find hope for Kaylee.

Her family is in the process of getting Kaylee accepted into a program in Arizona. The treatment is intensive and will require them to be away from home for many weeks. This program covers all her treatments, her hospital stays, and one parent to be with her the entire time.

The funds raised will help the family cover travel expenses, their stay while in Arizona, Kaylee’s treatments, and anything extra she may need while they're away. We are extremely grateful for everyone who has supported us through this tough and trying battle.
