Today we packed up and said goodbye to NAPA. 

 

Three weeks ago we walked in hopeful but honestly not knowing what to expect. Intensive therapy like this is exhausting, and asking a child to push their body and brain this hard every day is a lot. 

 

But Kyler surprised all of us.

 

He showed up every single day ready to try. Even when he was tired. Even when it was hard. 

 

As parents, the most emotional part of this journey isn’t the equipment or the exercises — it’s watching your child fight so hard for something most people never have to think about. 

 

Communication. 

Movement. 

Independence. 

 

Those things don’t come easily for Kyler, but he keeps trying anyway. 

 

One moment from this week is something we will never forget. 

 

When Daddy told Kyler it was time to head back to therapy, he picked up his communication device and typed “NAPA Center.” 

 

For a child who is still fighting so hard to find his voice, that moment meant everything to us. 

 

It reminded us that he understands more than we realize. 

It reminded us that he wants to keep going.

 

And it reminded us why all of this matters. 

 

Because every opportunity we give Kyler brings him closer to the day he can fully communicate his thoughts, his needs, and his personality to the world. 

 

Thanks to this incredible community we have raised $7,121 toward our $10,000 goal. 

 

We are unbelievably grateful. 

 

We are also so close — just $2,879 away from closing the gap for this intensive and the therapies that follow. 

 

If you’ve been following Kyler’s journey and feel led to help us finish this final stretch, we would be deeply thankful. 

 

And if you can’t donate, sharing his story means more than you know. 

 

We will never stop fighting for this boy. Thank you for being a part of Kyler’s Krew. 💙
