Kylie’s Story

Site created on August 16, 2018

Kylie Marie is a 22-year-old with so many people who love & support her. She was involved in a car accident early in the morning on Sunday August 12th, 2018, 3 days before her 21st birthday and 5 days before she was supposed to leave for her senior year of college at Xavier University in Cincinnati. Kylie now has a traumatic brain injury, a fractured C1 vertebrae,  other cervical and thoracic fractures, broken clavicle and rib, liver laceration, and a few other injuries as a result of her accident. She's currently at a Level 1 Trauma Center in Memphis. 
We are so very grateful to all the prayer warriors (both known & unknown) around the world praying for Kylie's complete recovery. Kylie's family asks for continued prayers so she may make a full recovery. While it may be a long road, we are hopeful God's healing hand, Kylie's incredible strength, and the never-ending support and love from friends and family will help her.  We truly believe God is the Great Physician who can heal.
***
Kylie is an imaginative, caring, creative young lady. She's an honors student majoring in PR and has minors in Spanish, Art History, and Entrepreneurship. She recently returned from studying abroad in Bologna, Italy, where she quickly picked up the Italian language and interned at the MAMbo, a modern art museum. 
Kylie has always been artistic. She works at Holliday Flowers in Memphis, where her co-workers and boss rave about her work ethic and talent in creating beautiful bouquets and intricate flower arrangements. Kylie always loves redecorating her parents' home, painting, helping her sister shop for clothes, and doing anything that allows her to incorporate her creative spirit. 
When she's at home, you can find her cuddling her cat Camille, and one (if not all) of her three dogs - Eli, Levi, and Sadie. 
Kylie is incredibly loved and touches the hearts of all she meets. We appreciate all of the prayers and support - even from those who have never met her.

From Kylie:

God listens. He guides in unexpected ways. After 2.5 months in Colorado participating in an intensive wilderness retreat to help me process the emotional trauma of my accident, I’m now actively engaged in Louisiana as an intern with Family Missions Company (FMC). It’s just the beginning of my journey here, but I’ve already been enlightened in so many ways. I’ve grown so much in my relationship with the Lord.

This past year has been tumultuous to say the least, but it strengthened and progressed me in ways I never expected. You all have played such a huge role in my recovery and growth. I feel so incredibly blessed by every thought and prayer you’ve offered for me.

I’m hopeful my internship here at FMC helps me pay it forward. Please know your ongoing prayers are deeply appreciated. As my journey continues at FMC, your prayers or any donation toward my internship would be such a blessing. Here is my direct link to Family Missions Company should you wish to help sponsor the work I’m doing in bringing God to those around the world who would not otherwise encounter Him. Please also use this link to submit any prayer requests so I can pray for you and your intentions.

Forever grateful & to God be the glory!
