The youngest Burner ever made an exodus from the playa that will go down as one of the most talked-about.

A newborn baby girl left Burning Man by helicopter to the Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno, Nevada on Aug. 27, according to Royal Ambulance, the official medical provider for the annual cultural spectacle.

Baby Aurora was a surprise to her parents, both in their 30s and from Salt Lake City, the newborn's aunt Lacey Paxman wrote on a GoFundMe page set to help with the unexpected medical and baby expenses.

The mother Kayla Thompson and the baby, who weighed 3 pounds, 9.6 oz. and was 16.5 inches long, will stay in the NICU until she is strong enough to be welcomed home, the GoFundMe page states.

"Had I known, that's absolutely the last place on this planet I would have been," father Kasey Thompson told the Los Angeles Times.

'No baby supplies, no nursery, nothing at all'

Kayla and Kasey arrived at Burning Man unaware they'd be leaving as a party of three. Now they are seeking for financial support to make up for a lack of preparation for their daughter.

"No baby supplies, no nursery, nothing at all. On top of that, the unexpected circumstances have created a heavy financial burden: NICU care (with no release date yet), medical bills, and travel and lodging expenses while they are far from home," Paxman wrote on the GoFundMe.

The fundraiser has accumulated nearly $14,000 as of Monday, Sept. 1 to go toward Aurora's medical expenses, baby supplies as well as travel and lodging costs for the parents who are currently out of state.

"Anything you are able to give — no matter how big or small — will help this new little family get started on the right foot," Paxman added. "Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love and support as we welcome this miracle baby girl into the world."

What is Burning Man?

Burning Man is an annual week long event that draws tens of thousands of people to Nevada’s Black Rock Desert to form a temporary city defined by communal living and eccentric displays of art and expression.

Its origins date back to 1986, when two men set an eight-foot tall human-shaped sculpture on fire in San Francisco’s Baker Beach accumulating a small crowd and marking the first ever Burning Man.

The event takes place every summer though it went on hiatus in 2020 and 2021 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It gets its name from a giant sculpture known as The Man, which is burned to conclude the week with flare.
