Support for Alyssa Davey-Reyes

We all know Alyssa Davey-Reyes as an incredibly strong, intelligent and loving person.  She bends over backward to help others, loves her daughter, family & friends veraciously, laughs in the face of adversity and has been a shoulder to cry on.  However, the Alyssa we aren’t always privy to is the one who struggles daily with pain and exhaustion, hides her embarrassment about the uncomfortable side effects of Crohns and is in and out of the ER monthly.  Within the past few years, due to her illness she has had to give up her loved career as a Hospice Nurse, her apartment and with no income of her own, she’s had to give up her independence.  Throughout all of this she’s kept a smile on her face and has a kind word for everyone.  With her 5th surgery now just under her belt the medical bills are piling up and for a change, she needs OUR help. 

We’re asking for your assistance in supporting this amazing woman, mother and friend by making a donation to her GoFundMe page.  It’s been started as a way to ease the burden of her significant medical bills.  With your help, perhaps some of her immediate stress can be reduced and she can focus on recovery/quality of life.  Thank you for your time and please feel free to share this page with others to contribute.
