Dear Friends and Family,
Many of you already know that Kayla Vess needs a lifesaving double lung transplant to stay alive. Kayla is working as a secretary at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, MO. She has also just earned her degree to work as a Physical Therapist Assistant.
Kayla was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when she was 3 months old, and has been battling this disease for the last 29 years. Kayla’s health has declined to the point that her doctors at University of North Carolina Hospital in Chapel Hill have told us that her only option is a life-saving lung transplant. Kayla will eventually have to take a leave of absence from her job to travel to North Carolina where she will have her double lung transplant.

I received my double lung transplant on December 11th, 2013!! I want to thank my donor, my husband, my family and the rest of my friends for being there for me during this difficult journey! I will still be traveling out to NC almost every month for the first year and will be on a lifetime of rejection meds. If you are able to hold a fundraiser for me or give a donation it is very much appreciated. Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers during this time, it means so much!
