A wonderful little princess has been battling an illness called Glycogen Storage Disease that has had her visiting local hospitals and having to travel all the way to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN for treatment since she was born. As a parent, the last thing you ever want is to see your child hurt or struggling. 

Kaitlyn's family has been by her side every step of the way and are very deserving of help from their community. Her family has been working hard to keep her 4 older brothers happy and safe while tending to Kaitlyn and they would really appreciate help with medical expenses.
