We are Kyle and Katie Serfoss and the Help Hailey Foundation was formed because of a promise we made to our precious baby girl, Hailey. Our promise to help other children with childhood diseases and to continue to raise awareness of mitochondrial disease.

Hailey was born full term without any medical problems, but at four weeks old we learned that Hailey had unknown medical problems. We spent two years traveling the nation looking for a diagnosis and treatment for our baby girl. We were blessed to have the finances, and support to seek the answers we needed. We learned that our daughter had a probable Mitochondrial disease.

Unfortunately, during our journey with Hailey we met and saw numerous children and their families who did not and will not get the opportunity to provide there child with the best care due to lack of financial and emotional support. Many special needs patients never see more than a family physician for no other reason than they can’t afford gas or transportation to drive 60 miles to see a specialist. We traveled to numerous states looking for answers.

Our goal with this foundation is to provide financial and emotional support for children with special needs to receive the best care they can possibly receive. Some things this foundation would like to provide, would be travel expenses, special needs equipment (chairs, car seats, home medical supplies), Travel to conferences to better educate parents on child’s condition, and to future research to help diagnosis, cure, prevent, and better the lives of these affected children and their families

The Help Hailey Foundation seeks to assist families through access to medical professionals, fundraising to offset the financial burden of treatment and care, provide education and awareness about Mitochondrial disease, promote research funding and connect families living through similar experiences.

Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for joining us in this fight against childhood disease. In loving memory of Hailey Lynn.
