About Kya’s Krusade

Kya’s Krusade Brochure

Kya’s Krusade, Inc. is a volunteer-based 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.  Kya’s Krusade was named after and inspired by a special young lady, named Kya, who was born with a rare condition called Arthrogryposis.  The organization was co-founded by Kya’s mother and godmother, after several exhaustive searches to find information, resources and support for Kya and her family.  Kylie and Ashandra decided to be proactive and become a resource and source of support for other children with physical disabilities and their families.  Kya’s Krusade became fully operational in July 2007.
