Fighting for Kayla Fundraisers

It has been a long fight for local 14 year old, Kayla Andrade.

Since she was only a few weeks old she has been fighting devastating
illness, having currently having been diagnosed with nearly 20 different
diseases, any one of which would be a challenge for most of us all by
itself. She suffers from EDS, Potts syndrome, systemic mastocytosis,
epilepsy, common variable immunodeficiency, dysautonomia, exercise
induced anaphylaxis, gastroperisis, gene mutations, blood clotting
risks, and cardiac arrhythymias, to name just a few. She must use a
wheelchair any time she will be out of the house for any length of time.
They live in the Bay Area, but she must fly to Long Beach in Southern
California every other week for treatment, and must have day long
infusions to boost her immune system every three weeks at home. Now she
has also been diagnosed with limbic encephalitis, which can be caused
by a rare form of cancer and tumors, and she must fly to the Mayo Clinic
in Minnesota for further tests and treatments, as it is the only place
with the specialists that she needs to deal with her extremely
complicated set of issues. She is scheduled to fly there

n December 9th, so raising money quickly is critical. To that end two separate fundraisers have been planned to help Kayla and her family. The first is a breakfast with Santa to be held this Saturday, and the second is a Coffee and Cocoa with Santa next weekend, December 10th. Both events will be held in Pleasanton.
