Hi friends,

My name is Bethany Balsis and I, alongside lots of our friends in the Down syndrome community, wanted to coordinate a fundraiser for the Kristi and Jared West and family as they go through the process of letting go of their daughter, Avery.

Avery has gone through years of medical challenges, racking up medical and travel debt as the West Family has been desperate to seek answers. The last couple days have brought on new challenges that devastatingly are not something Avery can come back from.

Please see below for updates from Kristi and thank you for your love and prayers and they navigate something that no parents should have to ever do.

XO
