Aid Audriana's Recovery: Surgery and Relocation

I’m reaching out in hopes to help Ashlyn, whose teenage daughter, Audriana, is preparing to undergo open-heart surgery this summer. Audriana has bravely battled serious heart issues since birth, and her most recent test results have shown that she is in desperate need of the surgery. At such a young age, this is a heartbreaking and overwhelming diagnosis.

Her surgery is scheduled for June 24, 2025, at Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital in New York. In preparation, the family will need to temporarily relocate from Maryland to New York from June 18 through July 14 for pre-op appointments, the surgery itself, and recovery.

Now, I’ll be honest — Ashlyn would absolutely kill me if she knew I was doing this. She is one of the most selfless people I know and would never ask for help, even when she needs it most.

We are raising funds to help ease the strain of being away from home for nearly a month — time off work, temporary lodging, food, and transportation all add up quickly. Not to mention, out-of-state medical bills.

Your donations will go directly toward:

• Temporary housing in New York

• Food and basic living expenses

• Travel and transportation to and from the hospital

• Any unexpected costs during their stay

Any amount helps — and if you can’t give, please consider sharing this with others.

Thank you for reading this and fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.
