From Kayla

To all who have been to this site and have shown me such tremendous support and love,

The fund raising efforts and generous donations on my behalf are truly incredible. After my sudden diagnosis in July, I began to be surrounded by so many people who just wanted to support and raise money for me. It’s hard to even believe that money was my biggest concern throughout the diagnosis. All those who have contributed on my behalf have really helped to change my focus to getting better and caring for my body. I’ve always been a very independent person and I’ve really strived to become a financially independent woman these past few years. What I’m now realizing is that in this moment in my life I can not do it all alone. It’s a truly humbling experience for me to accept the many generous donations. The past two months have led to the most incredible change in my life, but I know that my life will continue in a direction I want it to be in as long as I continue to stay positive and have trust in the Lord. I’ve already been blessed so much in my life and I am so thankful to have been in Reno when I was first diagnosed. I didn’t realize how many friends and loved ones I had here until I saw my family leave the hospital after my surgery. There has been not only an outpouring of my friends, coworkers and neighbors; there has been an outpouring of support from the entire community. It has been really beautiful to see how many people have come together to show their love and support. I know that there is no way for me to include everyone who has donated money, sent me flowers, resources, and shown me love, but I would be truly ungrateful if I didn’t mention the many others around the country who have also shown their love and support through donations and positive thoughts. There are so many stories of the help I’ve received that it is hard for me to express how truly grateful and loved I feel. For all those who have shown their love and support, and for all those who may be in a similar situation, please know that I am thankful for you and will keep fighting the good fight.
