Kinley, from South Jordan, Utah, has been living with a rare venous malformation since birth — a condition that, according to her family, affects her neck, airway, mouth, tongue and major blood vessels in her chest.

Over the years, Kinley has undergone 22 surgeries and medical procedures as doctors have worked to manage the complex condition and its complications.

Her journey has also included challenges such as blood clots, sleep apnea and difficulties involving her airway, adding even more uncertainty to an already difficult medical road.

Yet her family says Kinley continues to find joy in the things she loves. She enjoys dancing, creating art and making the most of each day.

After everything she has faced, her story is a reminder that a medical condition may become part of someone’s journey — but it does not have to define the person they are.
