Today, Gabby and Travon, dear friends and colleagues experienced every parent’s nightmare — their young daughter sustained second and third degree burns and will need to remain hospitalized for specialized care and healing. As new parents and small business owners, they now face not only the emotional weight of their daughter’s recovery, but the financial strain that comes with extended hospital stays, time away from work, and lost income.

Both parents are devoted massage therapists who have spent years showing up for their clients, communities, students, and fellow therapists — often giving far more than they ever ask in return. Gaby and Travon pour all of themselves into the bodies, hearts, and minds of those they serve and we are honored to be a part of their lives. They are the kind of people who offer comfort with their hands and healing through their hearts.

Now, it’s our turn to show up for them. Your support will go directly toward easing the burden of medical expenses and helping this loving family focus on what matters most: their daughter’s recovery and well-being. Gaby and Travon are the owners and operators of Desired Wellness in West Ashley.
