Help Ashley on Her Road to Recovery

My name is Desiree and I am raising money for my friend Ashley Gangwish ❤️

Ashley is a bubbly, selfless, and adventurous soul — she recently faced an unimaginable accident during one of her many explorations.

As a devoted kindergarten teacher, she pours so much love into her students, always putting others first and lighting up every room she walks into with her energy and laughter.

While out on an adventure, she fell and was life-flighted to Billings, Montana, where she underwent a 4-hour emergency surgery. Doctors shared the heartbreaking news that she may be paralyzed from the waist down — but in true fighter spirit, she’s already wiggled a couple of toes (yay!!) and is remaining incredibly positive.

She will soon begin physical therapy, determined to regain her strength and get back to doing what she loves most: exploring the world and making memories with the people she loves.

We’re asking for help to support her medical expenses, travel costs, and ongoing therapy during this difficult time. Anything you can give — whether it’s a donation or simply sharing her story — means the world.

Let’s rally around her, just as she’s always been there for others. Thank you for your love and support.
