Tarah's Story | As One, We Rise

When Tarah’s newborn son, Chance, suddenly struggled to breathe, every second mattered. Chance needed to get to a pediatric ICU, but a winter storm grounded flights and transport options were slim. A team came together—nurses, first responders, and volunteers—determined to find a way. -- As One, We Rise: This is the heart of the Klamath community, coming together to uplift each other in the pursuit of better health and well-being, supporting each other through life’s challenges and triumphs. Together, we create a healthier and more vibrant community. For Tarah, the joy of raising a happy, healthy family is something she never takes for granted—because she knows how close she came to losing it. -- Just after Christmas, her seven-week-old son, Chance, suddenly struggled to breathe. Trusting her instincts, Tarah rushed him to the emergency room, where the medical team quickly realized he needed advanced care at a pediatric ICU in Portland. The stakes were high—Chance’s tiny body was fighting for every breath, and time was running out. As a winter storm raged outside, flights were grounded, and transport options were limited. But inside the hospital, a team came together—nurses, respiratory therapists, first responders, and problem-solvers—determined to find a way. No one hesitated. Calls were made, plans were formed, and a team of volunteers assembled, ready to ride alongside Chance to ensure he made it safely. They weren’t just medical professionals—they were people who refused to let this little boy face his fight alone. “I’ve always experienced Klamath County as a community that rallies...” The storm made an already tense journey even harder. Snow piled up along the highway, and at one point, a fallen tree blocked the road. But just like in the hospital, people didn’t hesitate. Drivers stopped, strangers jumped out, and within moments, the road was cleared—because nothing was going to stand in the way of getting Chance where he needed to go. The drive to Portland was long and challenging, but Chance had an entire team looking after him every step of the way. Hours later, the call came: They had arrived safely. Chance made it. And today, he’s a thriving, energetic little boy—running, playing, and, as Tarah jokes, constantly finding new ways to get scrapes and bruises. Looking back, she is overwhelmed with gratitude, not just for the Sky Lakes team that cared for her son but for the entire community that made sure he got the chance to grow up. “I’m very thankful for the community we live in.” #AsOneWeRise #SkyLakes #Klamath
