Bert's Big Adventure kiddo Kynli and her family are spending so much time at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, they had to move closer to the hospital, which has been a financial strain for the entire family. Let's see if we can help them out here with the help of the Justin Landis Group! Kynli is the youngest of three children who all have PFIC: Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis, a disease that has resulted in liver failure and liver transplants in all three children. Her oldest sister, Kayli, was about 2 months old, when her mom, Kari, returned to work after maternity leave and dropped her off at daycare for her first day. When picking her up, a daycare employee pointed out how yellow she appeared and suggested she visit a doctor. They took Kayli to a liver specialist who diagnosed her with PFIC, which is very rare. At that time, all the doctors were able to tell her was that children with that condition weren’t expected to live past 10 years old without a liver transplant. Despite extremely rare odds, her second and third children were diagnosed with the same disease and all three children have had liver transplants and go in for testing monthly. Kari’s ex-husband was discharged from the military when they were living in Tacoma, Washington, and he decided to move to Qatar, where he still resides. Since Tacoma had a high cost of living, Kari made the decision to move with the kiddos. She had never lived in Atlanta but settled in Conyers to be close to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. It’s hard for the family to get ahead monetarily because the rent keeps increasing, but they have to live close to CHOA and all of the children need to have separate rooms since they frequently have to quarantine. They also don’t often appear sick so classmates question why they get special treatment. The Justin Landis Group has helped thousands of clients over the years, and each has come to us with a unique dream. They’ve helped empty-nesters looking to downsize and young families looking for more space as they grow. Some people hope for a great yard, while others search for a high-rise condo in the heart of the city. For some of our city’s most vulnerable, much like Kynli and her family, the dream is a little different. When the team at The Justin Landis Group heard about Kynli and her family, they knew they had to step in and help. That’s why the Justin Landis Group is going to gift Kynli and her family 3-months of rent/mortgage payments! They told us "We believe they deserve their dream just as much as anyone else, which is why we are proud to partner with Bert’s Big Adventure."
