Crip Cosplay (Aka Kala Hirtle) is a local cosplayer who is a part of Halcon's Street Team; as a member of this group Kala has had the opportunity to help raise funds for, and support, various charities, including Make a Wish Foundation, Kids Help Phone, and the IWK. Kala started cosplaying as Elsa because she wanted a chance to give back to the IWK and the larger community, having spent time there as a child. As a disabled cosplayer being able to support these organizations and encourage children to cosplay despite disabilities or chronic illnesses is the reason Kala enjoys cosplaying and never shies away from questions about her cane and leg.
