From Ashley: This week, my twin sister Alicia is facing something we never imagined - brain surgery. She is the strongest, most loving person I know, and seeing her go through this has been heartbreaking.
The surgery is critical for her health, but it also comes with overwhelming medical bills, time off work, and the long road of recovery ahead. As her twin, I wish I could take this burden from her, but I know we need the love and support of our friends and family to help her through.
Funds raised will go directly towards medical bills and hospital expenses, post-surgery care and rehabilitation, and living expenses while she is recovering.
Any amount, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in her healing journey. If you can't donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping Alicia and our entire family in your thoughts and prayers.
From Melissa: Today, I want to take a moment to honor someone whose strength leaves me in awe - Alicia. As she prepares to face brain surgery, she does so with a courage that’s quiet but fierce, and a grace that refuses to be shaken. This isn’t just a medical journey, it’s a testament to her resilience, her spirit, and the love that surrounds her.
She is a fighter, a nurturer, a light in our lives. And while the road ahead may be uncertain, one thing is clear: she’s not walking it alone. We’re here every step, every breath, every heartbeat with her.
She is a wife, a mother, a teacher, a caregiver, and a friend. And now, in this season of uncertainty and healing, it’s her turn to be surrounded by the same love and care she’s so freely given. Thank you in advance for your donation to our beloved sister, Alicia, and the chance that you give her family to thrive during this time.
