A Standup PaddleBoard for Kylie to enjoy the summer with her daughter

Posted Jun 22, 2021
Over the last year year and a half, Kylie has had to do a lot of healing after the loss of her oldest daughter. She finds peace and joy in getting to spend time outdoors with her youngest daughter who is now 3 years old. Together they love to play in the water and love to borrow their friend's paddleboard to float on the lake. Kylie is asking for a paddleboard so she and her daughter can go whenever they would like and enjoy the calm waters and sunshine together.

Kylie is 42 years old and lives in CO

Kylie and her sister entered foster care after loosing their father to suicide and enduring physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect by their mother. They were eventually placed with their paternal uncle. She and her sister went on to be the first in their family to both graduate high school and college. Kylie went on to work in the social services field, helping others be safe and successful. Kylie's 9 year old daughter was killed in 2019 in an egrious event and she has one surviving daughter. Kylie loves art and nature as healing modalities in her grief.

"I am very grateful and appreciative for my wish for a paddle board that Kim Raff submitted on my behalf and the granting of this. Thank you for considering me although I was in foster care 26 years ago. I often don’t qualify for things because of my age. My healing process has been beyond difficult. Finding a water sport I enjoy brings me closer to nature which has been very healing. I am ecstatic to have my very own paddle board to treasure and remind myself how much I am loved. "
