Hello, I am Ashley, 36. I have two kids (11 and 14), Husband and two animals (cat and dog).

I have recently been diagnosed with stage 1 germ cell ovarian cancer. I will require surgery(hysterectomy) to help rid of what is brewing. I am a full time artist and will have to take time away from my creations while I recover. My art is my main source of income. This also means having to back out of markets.

This is obviously not the way I wanted (or anyone wants to) end off 2023. Having to stop my main source of income plus still having monthly expenses to cover will be super difficult.

I appreciate everyones kindness and support. This is not the easiest thing to face and is very scary. I am doing my best to face it head on and be strong for my family. But the reality is, I am terrified.

Thank you again.

All funds will go towards monthly expenses. Groceries, bills, and anything that needs covering. As I am not doing markets nor making art doing this time, which is my main stream of income.
