For a girl who has battled chronic kidney disease, conquering the milestone of high school graduation and an 18th birthday is worth a big celebration!

This Fearless girl is speaking up to help others facing health issues and diseases, just like she did. She believes that life is worth fighting for, and if we have faith and hope for better days to come, life will continue to improve Evermore!

Fearless

In the words of Kaylee’s favorite celebrity and the inspiration for her 18th birthday celebration cake:

“Fearless is not the absence of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.”

— Taylor Swift

Kaylee has battled daily fears that many people will never experience as someone with chronic kidney disease. She faced her fears despite many issues for many years until she was able to have a kidney transplant in 2017. Since that time, she has recovered fully and is thriving. She now seeks to be a role model to other children battling health issues and diseases.

Speak Now

In her own words, “Stay strong, keep hope and faith, and most of all, don’t ever give up the fight!” She is truly the epitome of Fearless and strives to help others facing similar difficulties to never give up. She is speaking up and inspiring others. 

Speaking her own truth has blessed her and others, just like Taylor Swift. There are so many children facing difficult health issues and diseases, and with her positive attitude and empathetic nature, Kaylee will be a force for good in their world.

Evermore

High school graduation marks a turning point in everyone’s lives, and Kaylee is determined to seek for the next good thing, Evermore! Having a wonderful cake to celebrate made the whole experience that much more meaningful.

As her mother, Dee, said:

“Kaylee was super excited about her beautiful Taylor cake. She loved it! The cake was super beautiful and so delicious! We are very grateful and thankful for our wonderful baker.

We are so blessed that these bakers go above and beyond for our children. They definitely put an Icing Smile on their faces. Thank you so much to you all!”
