Support Ashley Through Cancer and Medical Travel Costs

Our family is asking for your support for my big sister, Ashley Croft-Callery, as she faces an unexpected cancer diagnosis. With that comes many uncertainties and financial strain.

Ashley recently received the difficult news that she has an olfactory neuroblastoma, a rare tumor in her nasal cavity that originates in the olfactory nerve and has grown into the base of her skull. Of course, she has an action plan and has already found her way to several leading specialists. However, she now faces a whirlwind of appointments, scans, and consultations in and out of state to develop the best treatment plan.

Ashley, her husband Tim, and their almost three-year-old son (my perfect little nephew, Jack) just moved to Memphis this summer. They’re still settling into new jobs and a new school for our sweet Jack, all while trying to make a home. Which is just as chaotic as it sounds with a toddler who, shocker, would rather run laps around the house than get in bed. We’re so thankful to have them closer to some of the family, but it's allowed me to see firsthand how stretched thin they already are.

While insurance helps on the medical side (and is somehow still a pain in the you-know-what!), it does not cover the travel. Each trip means flights for Ashley and a caregiver, nights in a hotel, plus meals and transportation. Because of the aggressive nature of this tumor, we're moving quickly and these costly last-minute bookings add up fast. With multiple trips ahead, the financial strain quickly grows into thousands of dollars.

Ashley has always been the one to show up for everyone else. Now it’s our turn to show up for her!

How You Can Help

-- Donate if you can. Every bit helps with travel and care expenses.

-- Share this fundraiser!

-- Show up your way: Send some joy! Whether that’s a funny meme, your best 90's country playlist, drop off some Huey’s cheese fries, share book recs for all the Kindle time at appointments, whatever your heart desires. We just want our gal to feel the love and support!

We know Ashley has a tough road ahead, but she is not walking it alone. With the support of family, friends, and her loving community, she can more easily focus on what matters most: her health and her family (and a good nap lol).

Thank you for your thoughts and support for my sis!
