Leg amputation recovery

Does anyone want to fund this Mother of four who just got her leg amputated ?

When Kaylene Clark learned the truth about her cancer at a recent Dr.’s visit she was horrified.


Kaylene was born with Ollier’s disease but it didn’t show up until she broke her leg after dropping from the clothesline poles. Everyone in the family played on them like on monkey bars.The benign tumors in Kaylene's legs showed up in x-rays. They stunted the growth of her leg. After many trips to Shriners hospitals Kaylene's good leg growth plates were stopped to prevent too large a lift in her shoe. 


Ollier’s disease, a rare childhood disease that seldom turns to cancer, did turn to cancer in her case. Whithin a month Kaylene’s leg was amputated above the knee. She had to deal with daily life after the amputation. She made it through the hospital visits which was in Rochester, MN, a five hour drive. Each appointment required an overnight stay at a hotel, gas and food to travel.


Kaylene, a widowed wife, mother of a toddler of three, a now-married daughter, and two teenage son’s. She now wears a prosthesis. It’s been since January 2024 that the amputation occurred.


Her recent diagnoses has been that there’s a recurrence of nodules at the site of the amputation. She also has some post-obstructive atelectasis/pnueumonia in her bronchial tubes. This means continued treatments and appointments in the next state.
