Help Ashlyn Battle Leukemia

Ashlyn is a fun loving, sweet, and selfless young woman. She enjoys shopping, makeup, camping on the river, and her dogs. After complaining of body aches, headaches, and exhaustion for 6 months, her doctor diagnosed her with the flu. From there, things got worse. Her back and bones began to hurt to the point that she couldn’t get out of bed. She went to St. John’s where they conducted several labs and x-rays. They found that some of her organs were enlarged and transferred her to the University of Minnesota Masonic Hospital. There, she underwent spinal taps and bone marrow tests to find that she has B-Cell Acute Lymphatic Leukemia. Unfortunately, the cancer is in her bone marrow. Now, Ashlyn has labs every week that are sometimes followed by a blood transfusion. She also receives two types of chemo each week and has to take 13 cancer-related medications each day. The doctors have predicted that this will be a 2 ½ year battle for Ashlyn.

Due to the cancer-related pain, Ashlyn is unable to work right now. Even in these modern times, Ashlyn has always found a way to be selfless and put others first. This time, we would love to put her first and raise enough money to cover some of her expenses.

I was introduced to Ashlyn's Mom, Sandy, a few short months ago. After speaking with her about Ashlyn's story I felt they could benefit greatly from the kind donations of friends, family, and even strangers. Even though I live all the way down in Texas, I believe in Ashlyn's cause whole heartedly and knew others, near and far, would most likely feel the same.

Sandy is the sole beneficiary for this GoFundMe and has access to withdrawal the needed funds that are raised.
