Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out on behalf of my Aunt Ashley, who is currently facing a difficult health challenge. She was diagnosed with a severe case of uterine fibroids, a condition that has caused her ongoing pain, anemia, fatigue, along with other health issues. Due to the size and severity of her case, she will have a longer and harder recovery time. My aunt is someone who has always been there for others—kind, strong, and generous—and now she needs our help. I am starting this GoFundMe to help support her during this difficult time by covering the portion of her surgery that insurance will not pay for, as well as assisting with expenses while she is temporarily without income due to her recovery.

“I’d like to start by thanking my friends and family for supporting me during this difficult time. I have received so many kind messages and I am very grateful to have all of you. I apologize if I have missed some messages, I will get back to everyone as soon as I can.

As many of you know, I was diagnosed with a severe case of uterine fibroids. I’ve been advised that surgery is the only option to restore my health and allow me to move forward. Due to the size and severity of my case, I will face a longer and more difficult recovery time. Between medical bills, hospital costs, and time away from work during recovery, the expenses quickly add up. This has been overwhelming, both physically and emotionally.

My amazing niece created this GoFundMe to ask for support in covering the cost of my surgery that my insurance will not cover, and my recovery process. Any contribution—no matter the size—will go directly toward my medical expenses and help relieve the stress of this situation so I can focus on healing.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page with others would mean just as much to me. Your kindness, support, and encouragement truly makes a difference during this challenging time. I love you all and hopefully I'll be able to see everyone soon!” -Ash
