FUNDRAISER

❤️‍🩹 My precious Koko is fighting for his life, and I honestly don’t even know how to share this…

There has already been so much loss and grief in my life recently that nothing feels fully real. It’s been hard to find the words, and even harder to open my heart to share something this heavy—but this moment is too significant not to.

After 4 years of being seizure-free, Koko experienced a cluster of 16 seizures last Thursday night into the morning. It was one of the longest and most terrifying nights of my life. I didn’t know if he was going to make it. Holding him through every single seizure is something that will stay with me forever. 💔

The next morning, I immediately flew him to Oahu for emergency care. Shortly after, he went into a coma and lost his vision and ability to walk.

An MRI revealed something incredibly rare—pneumocephalus, an air pocket in his brain. We don’t know when it formed or how long it’s been there, but it appears to be connected to trauma from when he was a puppy. For those who know Koko’s story, you understand how devastating this is.

We had no choice but to move forward with emergency brain surgery to release the air pocket—without it, he wouldn’t have survived.

A few days ago, he came out of surgery and regained his vision and ability to walk, which felt like a miracle. But the procedure was incomplete, and now he is going into a second major and very risky brain surgery today—one that will determine his life.

Doctors across this hospital and his care team back in Texas have consulted with dozens of specialists. No one has seen a case like his. It is extremely rare. I am praying with everything I have for a miracle—for a successful surgery and for his full healing.

This past week has pushed me in ways I can’t fully describe. The thought of losing Koko, on top of losing my dad, my Jèddo, my uncles, and so much more in such a short time… it feels overwhelming. I am being tested in every way. My faith is being tested.

I want to say a special thank you to Dr. Williamson and the team at @vercHawaii for fighting to save his life.

If you can, please keep Koko in your prayers today. That alone means everything to me. 🙏🏽

And if you feel called to support his care in any way, I would be deeply grateful. There is absolutely no pressure—your love, prayers, and kindness are already more than I can ever thank you for.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being here. ❤️‍🩹🙏🏽

Please God, let there be peace, healing, and brighter days ahead.
