The Name?
KColl Designs is named in honor of Kyle Collins, the younger brother of founder Jacob Collins. Kyle passed away at 17 from an infection following his battle with leukemia, but his creativity and love for production continue to inspire the work we do.
Kyle grew up in the church and taught himself music production. He was an incredible drummer and loved every part of the creative process—from cameras and lighting to video game design, which he studied in high school. He planned to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston and had a future full of creative possibility.
The name KColl carries Kyle’s name forward and honors the legacy he was never given the chance to build himself. Every project is a way to celebrate his imagination, his passion for production, and the lasting impact he had on the people who loved him.
The Dream
The dream behind KColl is to build a nonprofit that helps families facing childhood cancer with the everyday costs that can add up during treatment. Kyle collins Designs will be used finacatilly to fund this organization.
Even when insurance or other programs help cover medical care, families may still face mounting costs for gas, parking, meals, groceries, lodging, rent, utilities, and other bills. Frequent hospital visits can also mean missed work and lost income. The National Cancer Institute recognizes that travel and lodging can add a financial strain for patients and families.
The need is significant: the American Cancer Society estimates that about 9,680 children in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer in 2026. While about 85% of children with cancer now survive at least five years, each family’s experience is different, and treatment can place a heavy financial burden on the household.
Our goal is to help ease that burden by giving families practical financial support when they need it most. We’re still working toward making that dream a reality. Until then, we encourage you to support organizations already helping families with expenses such as groceries, housing, utilities, and transportation.
