Hello friends, family, and close acquaintances-  asking you all for help, even if it's just sharing this campaign. If you can't donate- just share, share, SHARE!!! Ashley had recently moved into a motorhome and had yet to troubleshoot and enable the propane appliances so she was using a Coleman stove for cooking temporarily. On November 14th, 2018, she was cleaning the stove and got fuel on the sleeve of her sweater. She finished up a different project that she'd been working on then, forgetting about the spilt fuel, lit the stove to prepare dinner. Ash's sleeve caught fire and quickly engulfed her in flames. Ashley suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns to her hand, arm and her face. She was rushed to Grand River Hospital in Rifle where they determined her injuries were so severe that she was quickly flown to one of the only facilities in our region equipped with specialists of this nature, the Burn unit at the University of Colorado in Denver. Ashes first surgery was performed on Tuesday two days before Thanksgiving. They performed both full and split skin grafting; taking skin from her hip and upper thigh and grafted it to a large portion of her arm and most of her left hand. She's doing well and her spirits are high as is her way- she's even devising jokes to explain her looks with a burned face. Ashley's positive outlook has become somewhat restricted as the certainty of the pending after costs that are soon to ensue. There will be rehabilitation, both physical and psychological. Some of the rehab will require back & forth trips to the University; incurring costs for lodging, transportation and food. There are medications, wound care supplies and doctors visits that are not entirely covered by her insurance, as well Her recovery process is going to be long and costly but she's worth every penny. Again, we need help from any one and everyone. No gift is too small. Please donate if you can, SHARE this campaign If you can't... We'd like to extend our gratitude to the EMS crew, the staff at Grand River Hospital in Rifle, the flight crew who flew Ashley to Denver and those at UC Health Burn Unit-They have been & continue to be outstanding. Without them, Ashley's outcome could have been so much worse.
