My name is Edward, and I am Ashawna’s domestic partner. Together, we are raising two young children.
Ashawna is 41 years old and was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of lymphoma, a diagnosis that has upended our family’s life in every way. As she undergoes treatment, she has been forced into disability status, leaving her unable to work while facing the physical toll of cancer and the financial reality of caring for our children.
The costs associated with her treatment — combined with the sudden loss of income — have created a level of financial strain that we can no longer manage on our own. This fundraiser exists to help us keep our household stable while Ashawna focuses on fighting for her life.
Why Your Support Is Needed Right Now
Ashawna’s focus should be on healing — not on financial stress. Unfortunately, the reality of cancer in the U.S. is that even with insurance, medical expenses add up quickly.
So far, Ashawna’s medical costs have already exceeded $45,000, and treatment is ongoing. In addition to these expenses, transportation to and from the treatment center has become a serious challenge. Without a family vehicle, each appointment requires costly arrangements that make an already difficult journey even more exhausting.
This fundraiser was created to help cover:
- Living expenses while Ashawna is unable to work
- Medical and treatment-related costs not fully covered by insurance
- Transportation to and from oncology appointments
- Household and child-related needs during treatment and recovery
Your support helps remove the financial burden so Ashawna can focus fully on healing and being present for her children.
How You Can Help
The goal of this fundraiser is to ease the financial burden on our family so Ashawna can focus fully on treatment and recovery — without the constant stress of uncertainty.
Any contribution, no matter the amount, makes a real difference. Your support helps provide stability for our household, care for our children, and peace of mind during a time when our energy must be focused on healing.
If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page is just as meaningful and helps us reach others who may be able to support.
Thank you for your generosity, your prayers, and your kindness. We are deeply grateful to everyone standing with our family during this fight.
God bless.
