Ashley is a single mom who has endured more hardship in her 42 years than seems fair. She is the mom of my son's girlfriend. We've known each other a little over a year. She is a mother of 3 children, a 16 yo daughter, an 18 yo son and a daughter who is a special needs adult whom she has taken care of for 23 years.
This month Ashley was diagnosed with possible throat cancer. More tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis. They have also found a mass in her breast, in her uterus, and on one of her kidneys. She is having diagnostic testing done to determine if this is cancer with metastasis. She also learned she has hyperthyroidism and congestive heart failure which led to multiple bouts of pneumonia. She is determined to beat this so will undergo whatever treatment is recommended. I expect surgery (mastectomy and hysterectomy), chemotherapy and radiation will be the treatment.
Ashley has very limited income which includes a small disability check for her special needs daughter, but she lost income when she was unable to work due to COVID and her failing health. She has no means of transportation as her car was repossessed due to her loss of income.
Ashley is on Medicaid for her medical expenses and will be applying for disability. You can imagine how she is feeling right now...overwhelmed with the thought that if she has cancer that her time could be limited, and her children could lose their mom at a young age. She wants to be able to provide for her children during this difficult time with the basic necessities.
Ashley and her children are devastated by this unexpected news. I felt compelled to try to help in any way I could, so I made this GoFundMe page.
Her situation is dire and urgent. I hope you will be kind enough to give a donation. No matter how small, every little bit will help and will be greatly appreciated. Please take a few minutes of your time to pledge a gift to make her life a little easier as she and her family are going through such a difficult time right now. And please share this link with everyone you know.
Thank you so much,
Laura
