Smiley for Kylie Instagram

This weekend, Kylie’s family got together in her dad’s hometown to celebrate her grandfather Walt, who passed away in July. As her parents, aunt and uncle, sisters, cousins, and all their spouses and partners spent time honoring him, I imagined Kylie in heaven, holding his hand and enjoying the scene.
Thanks to your generosity, Smiley for Kylie was able to offer a $50,000 matching gift at last night’s Believe Ball. The guests quickly met the match and went well beyond! We are so thrilled at the research that CURE will be able to fund because of this. Thank you all!
Thanks for coming out to Chick-fil-A. We had a great time seeing everyone and the night raised more than $2250 to fight childhood cancer!
Kylie wanted to Be a Broadway star. Her favorite color was yellow. She loved baked potatoes, penguins, and singing and dancing on stage. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and we are trying to do what Kylie told us to do - push research forward with CURE so that kids with cancer get to live their dreams. Would you join us with a donation through the link in our bio?
Please say Happy Birthday to a very special lady who happens to also be Kylie’s mommy!
Last Monday, we all heard plenty of fireworks as we celebrated the 4th. There is no doubt that one of the biggest bangs of the evening was Kylie slapping one of her Velcro hugs on her grandfather as he met her in heaven. Rest well, Grandpa!
Earlier this month, the Acting Up at First Redeemer Church Drama Camp performed The Jungle Book to benefit Smiley for Kylie. This is the fifth year that Meredith has been able to help lead this event in memory of her sister. We truly appreciate the kindness of the church’s leadership in honoring our little girl in such a special way that she would love.
Today is National Rescue Dog Day. All of our animals are rescues, and they have rescued us. Kylie never got to meet these two, but she would have loved them. Piper is the little 3-legged one who had a rough life before she came here. The big white dog, Josie, is deaf, but knows several signs and is the smartest dog we’ve ever had. If she doesn’t want to obey, she turns her body so she can ignore the sign we are giving. #adoptdontshop #nationaladoptionday #nationaldogrescueday❤️
Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms - including this special lady. And we’re sending a little extra love for those missing their mother or child today.
