Hello everyone, this is Avery. She has Aplastic Anemia and cancer in her bones.

Avery is 4 and is a strong-willed child who is such a ray of sunshine and does know a stranger. She’s constantly giving hug, laughing, and having a wonderful time.

She loves God, her family, school, and ballet.

Avery needs a bone marrow transplant and will have to go through chemotherapy. She had a bone marrow and bone biopsy on 4/10/25 that determined her diagnosis.

Ian and I (Hayley) are driving 1.5 hours each way, from Tullahoma to Chattanooga 2-3 times a week and we will soon be driving to Nashville for more treatments.

which includes Blood draws, blood transfusions and potentially staying the night if the doctors determine if her levels are too dangerous to leave.

Avery’s Aplastic anemia has made her body stop making red, and white blood cells and platelets.

As we continue this journey Avery’s medical expenses are going to pile up. The insurance company is refusing to pay much of anything. Ian is working and making sure we have a home, electricity, car to get to appointments, food, medicine!!

All the money raised will go towards medical expenses.

Avery also is immunocompromised which means she has no immune system to help fight off infection like a normal child would be able to.

Sadly we have to play keep away and keep the kids separated until she gets better. We have friends who can watch our boys here and there but there is only so much we can ask of our small but mighty community.

Averys beyond loved by our mighty community. <3

We ask for prayers and support.

God bless and thank you!

Update: Avery’s amazing big brother is a 100% match and has agreed to donate bone marrow to saver her life. 

update June 2nd: Last day of chemo!!!

Avery’s chest tube came out and that was horrible.

She had to get blood and platelets yesterday. Avery may be getting off the morphine push button tomorrow.

Goals are getting to day +21 with no fever, eating / drinking without puking, getting over this virus, taking all meds by mouth without puking, walking without assistance, getting over her mucusitis, off all pain meds, all by day +45 to leave this hospital and go to live at the Ronald McDonald home for 60 days. Our HOME goal is September 18th with weekly blood work until it turns into monthly blood work.

She will not let me take any pictures of her. So the posted one is from Friday. Every single day, multiple times a day we are doing affirmations. She’s for the most part happy and comfortable.

No signs of rejection, but no signs of her body accepting the bone marrow either. 2 more weeks until we get real answers.

Also, I can’t move her hospitals because she’s too high risk of infection.

Still no outside visits yet. 

Please keep praying , & sharing her story. The more prayers and awareness the better.

God Bless and have a wonderful week.
