For Kayley.
When artist Mark Wilson learned that his dear friend Kayley Layman was nearing the end of her cancer journey, he turned to what he knows best, creating.
A series titled for you, born from grief, love, and the quiet reality that one day, we will all face the end of life.
But Mark didn’t stop there. He chose to direct that work toward something meaningful, raising funds for Morning Light, believing our mission would be a beautiful way to honor Kayley’s life and compassion for others.
What followed was something extraordinary.
In just three weeks, a community came together to raise $67,289 in her memory.
More than 30 donors.
5 countries.
10 states.
All in support of a simple but powerful idea: that everyone deserves a peaceful, dignified place to call home at the end of life.
Today, that love lives on here. One of our rooms is now dedicated as Kayley’s Court, a space of care, comfort, and compassion — marked by a beautiful plaque created in her honor.
We are deeply grateful to Mark, to everyone who gave, and to the kind of community that shows up, even in the hardest moments, to bring light to others.
