Jaylin is more than their diagnosis. Before being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in July of 2025, Jaylin was your average 15-year-old kid, who cherished basketball, riding his bike, gaming, spending time with family and friends and also his progress that was being made in school.

Since July 27th, 2025, he hasn't been able to do any of those things due to him being hospitalized after suddenly collapsing while playing basketball with his brothers. That moment changed everything, ushering in a new reality of surgeries, appointments, treatments, financial hardships and profound physical and emotional challenges.  Throughout this journey, Jaylin has faced the uncertainty with strength, courage, humor, and never losing sight of the people and passions he loves. We have been reminded that every day is a gift. Anything is greatly appreciated!
