The History

Rodger and Leann Weller created Kyleigh’s Gift after the passing of their daughter, Kyleigh Elizabeth in 2012. The loving care and support they received from doctors, nurses and staff at Liberty Hospital Birthing Center during their time of loss is what prompted the Weller family to turn to the Liberty Hospital Foundation for support in starting Kyleigh’s Gift.
