Kaylan Strong’s Fight Like a Warrior Foundation

Kaylan’s Story

At the heart of our foundation is Kaylan Jean Kuʻumomimakamai "Momi Girl" Haywood, a vibrant, adventurous, and loving 11-year-old girl whose legacy inspires us every day. Kaylan’s life was full of joy—whether she was mastering gymnastics, making slime for friends, or exploring the world alongside her mom. She was a warrior who lived life to the fullest, and her strength continues to guide our mission.
