Meet Kylee

Before Kylee became a name people saw in the news, she was a sister, a niece, a granddaughter, a friend, and a young woman with a future ahead of her.

She loved music, makeup, helping people, making her friends laugh, and welding. She became known as “Smilee Kylee” because of the smile and energy she brought into a room. She graduated from Attleboro High School in 2025, was chosen as Prom Queen, and was beginning to imagine her adult life and the baby she was expecting.

Why Smilee Kylee Exists

A Place Where Support Does Not Disappear When Life Gets Hard

Our goal is to build the kind of place we wish had existed for Kylee.

A place where a woman is not defined by her worst day, where asking for help does not come with impossible expectations, and where one missed meeting, one mistake, or one setback does not mean losing the support she desperately needs.

Safe Housing A stable place to stay while a woman rebuilds.
Healing & Support Counseling, pregnancy support, recovery resources and compassionate guidance.
A Path Forward Employment, financial education, life skills and steps toward independence.

Her Memory Becomes Someone Else's Hope.

We cannot become the people Kylee needed soon enough to change her story. But we can try to become those people for someone else.
