Dutchess County first responders are
banding together to help raise money for a middle school girl who suffered a
serious medical emergency.
The Tivoli Fire Department and the Red
Hook Police Department are sponsoring a great event for Kailyn who is a sixth
grader at Linden Avenue Middle School.
On Nov. 28, 2022, Kailyn was rushed to
Northern Dutchess Hospital, then air-lifted to Albany Medical Center where she
underwent surgery for AVM - Arteriovenous Malfunction - a cerebral brain bleed.
Kailyn is slowly recovering, but she will
need extensive OT, PT, and visits to her neurosurgeon in Albany. It has also
been hard for her family, and her mom has had to stop working to care for her.
On Feb. 25, fire crews and police
officers will be hosting a Benefit Breakfast for Kailyn at the Tivoli Fire
Department. The doors open at 8 a.m. and it ends at noon.
