Tayten needs a kidney transplant and you can help by donating to the family’s Spot Fund fundraiser.

“He is always in the happiest of spirits,” Said his mom Cortney. “Tayten is so full of life and love. He hasn’t let any of his challenges stop him! Tayten enjoys singing (humming) his favorite tunes, dancing and playing everything like it’s a drum. Kabuki kids love music. This boy has a way of touching your soul, he’s truly an angel on earth. He loves being affectionate, he smiles from ear to ear when others give hugs or kisses in front of him. He waves “hi” to everyone, and he always wears a little dimpled smile on his face. Tayten is the light in a dark world. We want to protect him and keep that light burning bright for as long as possible.”
