Last Thursday night, Kadeja succumbed to Stevens-Johnson syndrome, described by health experts as "a rare, serious disorder in which your skin and mucous membranes react severely to a medication or infection".

The speed with which the illness ended the Pulse model and Guy's Hill High School past student's life has devastated her family, who are still trying to understand what went wrong, given that Kadeja had shown no sign of illness before.
To add to their grief, they need to find at least $556,000 to settle Kadeja's medical bills, which they racked up in a desperate attempt to save her life. Kadeja's date with destiny started on Christmas Day 2013 when she felt the symptoms of a fever and took over-the-counter flu tablets before reporting to work at the downtown Kingston boutique where she was employed. more
