About this fundraiser

Help Kai Through Spine Tumor Surgery & Recovery

Hi everyone,

We’re asking for help for Kai, who has been living with an incredibly painful medical condition for months.

Kai has a tumor in his spine that causes severe nerve pain. While he can walk, every step is painful, limiting his ability to move and function. Because of this, Kai has been unable to work for the past three months, and the financial strain has steadily grown

Kai is scheduled for spinal surgery on January 23. The surgery is necessary, but recovery will take time, and during that period Kai will need help covering rent, food, and basic living expenses so he can focus on healing.

Any donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward helping Kai stay housed, fed, and supported through surgery and recovery. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser means so much.

Thank you for your compassion and support during this difficult time.
