UPDATE (September 9, 2026): KENLEE IS HOME!

Two and a half years after she was abducted from her home by Florida DCF officials, Kenlee Zuraff has been returned home to her mother, Joy. Following a hearing at the Santa Rosa Courthouse on Friday, September 4, 2026, Senator Don Gaetz reported the news during a press conference open to the public. BrokenTruth.tv also reported the news in a Substack post on Monday.

We The Patriots USA first became involved in the case in February of this year, after Kenlee's mother, Joy, reached out to us for help. Since then, we raised over $23,000 for Joy's legal expenses (between this fundraiser and the one we had on our previous fundraising platform). But the fight isn't quite over yet. Joy has only supervised custody until December, when the (hopefully) final hearing will be held to determine whether she will regain permanent custody. Since we have committed to support Joy throughout this ordeal as funds allow, we will continue fundraising for this case to pay for the legal expenses associated with the December hearing.

THANK YOU to everyone who supported this case and made this victory possible! Without your help, it's very likely that Kenlee would still be separated from her mom. But tonight, she is finally home, safe and sound where she belongs!

UPDATE (April 27, 2026): Thanks to your generous support, we have been able to provide funding for most of Joy's legal expenses since we became involved in the case, which allowed her to have high quality legal representation at three hearings over the last two months. The most recent hearing was held last Thursday, April 23, 2026, and the latest update is that things are moving in a positive direction toward a reunification of Kenlee and Joy! While we unfortunately cannot provide more details due to a protective order issued by the court, please know that your support of this case has had a tremendous impact on Joy's ability to regain custody of her daughter, and we are much closer to that goal than we were two months ago. But you should also know that we still have a long road ahead of us, with another hearing scheduled for September. Our fervent hope is that Kenlee can be returned to Joy before that hearing, and we remain committed to that goal. Please continue to keep Kenlee and Joy in your prayers, and if you haven't had a chance to make a gift recently, please consider doing so.

UPDATE (February 2026): Hearings were conducted on January 21, 2026 and February 9, 2026 to address the state's motion to terminate Joy's parental rights. A third hearing has now been scheduled for April 23, 2026. We raised over $17,000 in our initial campaign, but all of that has already been exhausted to pay for Joy's legal expenses. We recently migrated to a new fundraising platform, so we have created this new fundraiser. As this is a very extensive legal process, significant additional legal expenses are expected. Please stay tuned for more updates, and please consider a gift to help us continue fighting for Joy to keep her parental rights and regain custody of her daughter! All proceeds from this fundraiser are being used to pay Joy's legal expenses.

BACKGROUND:

We were recently contacted by Joy, a Florida mom whose 7-year-old daughter, Kenlee, was stolen by the State of Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF). DCF has now moved to terminate Joy's parental rights, simply because Joy did not immediately assent to the use of a drug with serious potential side effects and an FDA black-box warning to treat Kenlee's cystic fibrosis. The black box warning lists a host of side effects, including death from liver toxicity (190 deaths and over 10,000 adverse events have been reported to the FDA).

The doctor who prescribed this medication reported Joy to DCF, who took custody of Kenlee and placed her in three different hospitals before being released to a foster home. Kenlee was gaining weight, running, and playing without the assistance of oxygen, but state officials still saw fit to take her away from the loving care of her mother, opting instead to place her in the care of strangers. And although Joy's alleged refusal of the medication was supposedly the reason Kenlee was stolen from her, the state did not even begin administering the medication to Kenlee until about 3.5 months after she was placed in foster care. We The Patriots USA has secured counsel for Joy, and agreed to provide funding for her legal expenses. Please help us reunite Kenlee with her mom by making a gift today!
