The 15-year-old Missouri girl who was brutally beaten by another teen is ‘fighting hard to stay alive’ after suffering brain damage in the horrific attack.
Kaylee Gain suffered a skull fracture and frontal lobe damage when her head was repeatedly smashed into the ground during a brawl near her St. Louis high school last Friday. She was left alone on the ground to convulse before EMTs arrived.
The family say Gain has ‘major brain bleeding and swelling’ and is in ‘critical condition’. They will not know the full extent of the damage until she wakes up.
‘Kaylee is fighting hard to stay alive and heal but this is only the beginning of a very uphill battle for Kaylee and her family,’ her loved ones shared on a crowdfunding page, adding: ‘the path to recovery will be extremely hard on the family, not only mentally but financially.’
A GoFundMe created in support of Gain has raised nearly $200,000 in just two days. The fundraiser states that all donations will be use towards ‘easing these stressful days, allowing Kaylee’s family to be able to be there 100% for her day and night and help with the medical bills that they foresee.’
