<div>..My name is Ashlee Gambino. I’m 33 years old, a wife, mother, and retired professional fighter. Recently, I’ve faced an intensely tragic string of events that have deeply affected my family and me. That’s why I’m asking for your help.

<div>Trigger Warning
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In late November of last year, we unexpectedly and immediately lost our 3 (almost 4)-year-old daughter to acute leukemia. One week after her funeral, I was diagnosed with a rare heart and lung disease called severe idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension. This causes progressive heart failure, a deteriorating condition for which there is no cure. My condition is so severe and fragile that I was given hope of reaching another 5 years. At the time of diagnosis, I was 20 weeks pregnant with a beautiful, healthy baby girl. Due to the severity of my condition, I was forced to terminate my pregnancy to save my life and prevent the suffering of my child. At such a late stage of this untreated condition, I wouldn’t have made it much longer. When it was discovered, the pressures in my lungs were five times what they should have been, and as a result, the right side of my heart is now twice the size it should be.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We lost our two daughters and were informed I have a severe terminal illness within two months. This has completely devastated us mentally, physically, and financially..

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I now have to live with a machine attached to my hip that continuously pumps medication through a tube that goes up my shirt, into my chest, and directly into my heart. This medicine is not a cure but a treatment. The treatment is brutal, and sometimes I’m in bed for days. I have to mix my medication and switch out the pump every other day, a process that takes about 45 minutes, along with other routines. I also have to change the dressing for my tube 1-2 times a week, which takes about 25 minutes. Additionally, I must monitor my symptoms, continuously check in with my doctors, and take pills three times a day.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>The lifestyle is not easy to maintain. I’m constantly in pain, always sore and fatigued. I cannot walk for long periods, submerge myself in water, or lift anything even slightly heavy. I have to take precautions about everything I do and everywhere I go. Needless to say, I cannot physically work or take care of my children full-time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m starting this GoFundMe because we have been struggling hard emotionally and financially ever since all of this began, and we desperately need a break. The funds will go toward a headstone for my daughter, which we still haven’t been able to get for her. I need to pay for appointments with the specialists who diagnosed me until I can figure something else out. There are only a few specialists in the country, none of whom are in Nevada.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is also for my very expensive medicine. Insurance covers most of it but not all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I truly appreciate you taking the time to read this. If you cannot donate, please share our story! As a fighter, it’s hard for me to ask for help, but I’m thankful I still can. ❤️
</div>
<div><br />
