Kaylie Jackson was just weeks away from her high school graduation with her sights set on attending Ohio State University. She had dreams of becoming a surgeon and saving lives one day. Sadly, on the night of her prom, tragedy struck.

Kaylie was one of four passengers in a car when it crashed. Three of the passengers survived. Kaylie did not.

While Kaylie never got to see her dreams come true, she was able to save several lives through organ donation. Some of her recipients include a toddler, a grandmother and a teacher.

To honor Kaylie’s memory, Kaylie’s mom, Amanda, started the Kaylie Jackson Sunshine Memorial Fund, which helps students who want to go into medicine, just like Kaylie did.

If you’d like to donate, you can go to The Dayton Foundation’s website and type in “Kaylie Jackson Sunshine Memorial Fund.” https://www.daytonfoundation.org/ccgift.html
