Hi all. 

I have known Chris since 7th grade and Steph since 10th grade.  Their beautiful daughter Ava has been diagnosed with Congenital Cholesteatoma.  For those of you who do not what Cholesteatoma is, this is it in its most simplest of terms:  It is a disease that acts to erode bones and tissue, destroying what is in its path.  Ava will need at a minimum two four-hour surgeries, pictures of her facial nerves, ears and brain in the “big donut” (CT scan) and a multitude of physician’s visits to address it and hopefully remove the diseased tissue in its entirety, with the hopes that it does not return. 

Ava is creative and has a love for music, dance and art in addition to her wanting to go skydiving.  Her spirit is such a joy!!  Stephani, Chris, Ayden and little miss dancing Ava are ready for the fight but could certainly use your help with the unexpected and mounting medical bills.  I know that if you are able to donate to help ease the burden, they will be forever thankful. 

Your donation in ANY amount is greatly appreciated.  Thank you from the heart.
