Please Help Ashley Andrews Battle Rare Tumor

My name is Christine and our amazing friend, Ashley Andrews, has been diagnosed with a rare condition called pheochromocytoma, which is a tumor. She fell ill suddenly last week and was admitted to the hospital. After many tests, the final diagnosis was given. The doctors have put her on medications to try to get her blood pressure down and sent her home to rest until she is healthy enough to have surgery. The surgery will be risky due to the size and location of the tumor. They will have to get her BP down and keep it that way for up to 4 weeks to then take her into surgery. The upfront payment the surgeon/surgery center is requiring is $17,000. She cannot work as they cannot risk her blood pressure elevating. She is the only source of income for her family.

I do not take fundraising lightly, and it takes a lot for me to ask anyone for help, but I'm asking if you can help this family at all, I'd be so thankful. Ashley is always taking care of others. I can't even begin to explain how much she does for her clients who come to her in pain. To her friends, if you try to call or text her, she may not respond as anything at all that can elevate her, such as her phone, they are trying to keep to a minimum. Please feel free to reach out to me, and I can pass messages to her family. Thank you for helping this family who is beside themselves trying to navigate this difficult crisis.
