In Support of Kauge Downard

Support Registry

Browse all the options to help, in one place.

Kauge was recently involved in a traumatic accident involving a high-powered firearm. He has already undergone multiple surgeries and is in critical condition; he is lucky to be alive. While his medical team is doing all they can to ensure his progress, his prognosis is unknown. We are optimistic that Kauge's fighting spirit and wilful heart can pull him through this tragedy, but whatever the outcome is we understand that his life will be forever changed. We are especially asking for financial support with medical bills and whatever additional costs may arise for Kauge. 

This Support Registry is built to give clear direction to everyone who wants to help the family.

Whether you’re willing to give money or lend a hand, your support makes a real difference.
Those who would like to help the family can:
  1. Choose from Support Registry options
  2. ‘Share’ to Spread the Word to family and friends
  3. ‘Follow’ Updates to stay informed

Each donation, no matter the amount, is greatly appreciated! If you'd prefer to donate via Venmo, you can send funds to @kelsjens who will ensure your donation reaches the beneficiary of this fundraiser.
