Hello everyone! My name is Kaelyn Washam. I'm from Kansas City, MO and I am currently a student at the University of Missouri Columbia. 

In early December of 2024, my papa Willie Ray Williams was unfortunately sent to the hospital. We are raising funds to support my beloved papa, who has been diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a rare and devastating neurological condition. This disease has profoundly impacted his health and our family’s daily lives.

Your contributions will help fund critical research efforts to better understand CJD, improve treatments, and work toward a cure. By donating, you are not only honoring my papa’s journey but also making a lasting impact for countless others facing this heartbreaking diagnosis.

Any amount, big or small, makes a difference. If you’re unable to donate, please share this fundraiser to help spread awareness. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us!

Thank you for standing with us.
