Help our Momma Ashley Applegate Meet Life-Saving Transplant Team in Houston

Hi, our names are Ashlyn & Olivia, and we are fundraising on behalf of our Mom Ashley Applegate, who is courageously battling a terminal illness.

Ashley has been diagnosed with End-Stage Interstitial Lung Disease and Bone Marrow Failure—two devastating, life-threatening conditions that have drastically impacted her health and quality of life. Despite the overwhelming challenges she faces daily, Ashley continues to fight with incredible strength, grace, and determination.

Ashley has been facing unimaginable health challenges for the last year and a half and is now in critical need of a life-saving organ transplant. After exhausting local medical options, the only hope lies in Houston, where a high-risk transplant team has agreed to evaluate and potentially take on her extremely complex case.

A Critical Chance for Hope in Houston

After exhausting local treatment options, Ashley has been referred to a high-risk transplant team in Houston, who offer her one final chance—an evaluation for a possible lung and stem-cell transplant that could save her life.

This trip to Houston is urgent and essential and more than just a consultation, it could be the beginning of a second chance at life.

Why We Need Your Help

The costs associated with this urgent journey are overwhelming:

• Travel to and from Houston for Ashley and family

• Temporary lodging near the medical center

• Medical co-pays and out-of-pocket expenses

• Everyday bills and family needs, while Ashley and the family are out of work and fighting this battle

We are trying to raise $10,000 to cover these critical expenses and relieve the enormous financial stress on our mother and our family during this incredibly difficult time.

A Little About Ashley

Our momma is the strongest person that we know. Our mom has been able to bounce back from anything life throws at her. This battle that she is going through, has been the toughest one for all of us, most importantly my sister and I. Please send a donation so that we can get our mom the help she so desperately needs. More importantly a prayer for our momma, she is our best friend, we can’t survive without our momma.

Ashley is more than a patient—she is a mother, a daughter, a friend, and a fighter. She has always put others before herself, shown up when others needed her most, and given her heart to her community. Now, she needs that love returned.
