The Tale of Two Kaylas: One Gift, Two Lives Forever Changed for Kayla Young and Kayla Senick - Space Coast Daily In every community, there are moments that define who we are—not just through words, but through action.

Dear Odyssey Families,

Every so often, a moment arises that reminds us of the extraordinary strength and compassion within our Odyssey family. Today, I am reaching out to share one of those moments—and to invite our community to come together in support of two of our own.

Some of you may know Kayla Young, a dedicated instructional assistant at Odyssey Preparatory Academy, a loving mother of two, and a cherished member of our school family. After the loss of her husband, Steve, in 2022, Kayla has continued to show remarkable resilience. She is now facing a new life challenge: the need for a kidney transplant.

In an incredible act of selflessness, another member of our Odyssey family—Kayla Senick, a social worker at Odyssey Charter Elementary School, mother of four, and foster mom to two—stepped forward without hesitation. After testing, she learned she is a match and has chosen to donate her kidney to Kayla Young. Their surgery is scheduled for June 24.

This story is more than a medical event. It is a testament to compassion, courage, and the power of community. As both Kaylas prepare for the journey ahead, we are rallying around them to ensure they feel supported every step of the way.

Ways to Support our two Kaylas:
Meal Train for the Senick Family: https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/ne44ze
GoFundMe for Kayla Young: https://www.gofundme.com/f/two-kaylas-one-miracle

Even if you are unable to donate, simply sharing their story or keeping both families in your thoughts makes a meaningful difference.

Thank you for being a community that leads with heart. Your kindness and unity continue to define what makes Odyssey so special.

With much gratitude,
Ms. Constance
School Founder

May 2026 — During National Charter Schools Week, Florida celebrated the continued success of charter schools across the state!

According to the Florida Department of Education, charter school students outperformed traditional public schools in the majority of academic comparisons, with strong gains in English Language Arts and math. More than 400,000 students are now enrolled in Florida charter schools — a record high that reflects growing family confidence in school choice and innovative learning opportunities.

We are proud to be part of Florida’s charter school community and remain committed to helping every child thrive through academic excellence, strong character, and meaningful learning experiences.
