Our sweet friend Ashley is up against something really big and needs our help. On top of struggling with lupus, she has been through a series of heart issues and has found out she needs another surgery. This surgery is an atrial fibrillation heart ablation scheduled for May 14.

Ashley requires many visits to specialists, such as cardiologists, rheumatologist, and neurologist, sometimes a few times a week between the heart issues and her lupus diagnosis. Each visit adds more to Ashley's increasing medical bills.

Following her surgical procedure, Ashley wishes to go to a physical therapist that will specialize in safe exercises for her particular heart and health complications in order to try to get as healthy as possible. While Ashley is in the hospital and recovering after surgery, her husband CJ will be out of work from his two jobs to care for their infant. With limited funding, this adds an immense stress to her family's situation. Any help you can give will be received with so much gratitude from the Russell family. Please consider supporting Ashley and her family during this time.
