Easing Funeral Costs for Dillon's Loved Ones

<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>

</div>
<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><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. ❤️

Ashlee’s Fight for Life! ❤️‍

I'm Kati Wilkins, and recently a dear friend from my days living in Sweden reached out to me about a colleague's daughter who has a <strong>rare genetic disorder.</strong> <strong>Beautiful Ayah</strong> just turned 1 this January, and <strong>needs help getting treatment for her disorder</strong>. The family lives next-door in Denmark, and the most effective treatment is currently not approved in her country, so she hopes to <strong>bring her daughter here to the US for treatment. The problem is, the treatment she needs is one of the most expensive in the world! </strong><br /><br />This GoFundMe account is to help <strong>Ayah's </strong>family raise the funding needed for her treatment and associated travel expenses. Times are tough for everyone, but if you're able to spare some extra funds, please do so. Also, please share this story widely.  Also, please be sure to read their story below. Anything you can give helps! We are trying to raise <strong>$2.4 million</strong> for <strong>little Ayah's rare medical condition</strong>, so any help you can give will go a long ways.<br /><br /><strong>BACKGROUND</strong><br />This is <strong>Ayah</strong> (born on <strong>January 15, 2020</strong>), a bubbly little princess who likes to smile a lot. Ayah has a rare genetic and degenerative disorder called <strong>SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) type 2.</strong><br /><br /><strong>SMA</strong> is a rare genetic disease that affects the central nervous system, voluntary skeletal muscle movement, and the peripheral nervous system (the connection between the central nervous system and the rest of the body). As a result, <strong>SMA</strong> affects basic motor functions such as walking, hand movements and  feeding. After  progression, the patients lose the ability to swallow, breathe and eventually die.  <br /><br /><strong>SMA</strong> affects one in <strong>10,000 live births and cannot be cured.</strong> <strong>However, today patients are given treatment options to prevent further progression, as any damage caused by the disease is irreversible.</strong><br /><br /><strong>Ayah</strong> developed like a normal child by age and achieved the appropriate milestones. After 10 months, <strong>Ayah</strong> was diagnosed with <strong>SMA</strong> through genetic testing after we questioned her sudden regress of achieved developmental milestones and minimal use of her legs. Prior to this, we had never heard of <strong>SMA</strong>.<br /><br />Since the diagnosis, <strong>Ayah</strong> has been put on Spinraza, a prescription drug administered as a spinal injection throughout a patient’s life. Spinraza increases the ability of the <strong>SMN2 gene</strong> (which is a back up of the <strong>SMN1 gene</strong>-the one that <strong>Ayah</strong> is missing) to produce <strong>SMN</strong> protein which in turn improves motor functions and survival.<br /><br /><strong>Zolgensma</strong> is a <strong>new one time</strong> gene therapy treatment for kids under the age of 2. It <strong>REPLACES</strong> the missing <strong>SMN1 gene</strong> with a new, working copy that helps motor neuron cells work properly and survive but it’s currently the most expensive drug in the world at $2.1 million. It is NOT a cure since it does not reverse damage already caused by SMA before treatment. However, with supportive therapy, it has by far shown the best results. It is recommended that the earlier the patient receives the treatment, the better.<br /><br />We are fortunate and <strong>grateful</strong> to the Danish healthcare system for giving <strong>Ayah</strong> Spinraza. However as parents, we cannot leave the approval of gene therapy in Denmark to chance and hope that, it will be ready before Ayah turns 2 years old. As any parent, we wish the best for our child, but even more so in regards to her health. Besides <strong>Zolgensma</strong> only having to be <strong>administered once</strong>, it has <strong>proven to be the most effective</strong> in clinical testing.<br /><strong><br /><br />OUR GOAL</strong><br /><br />The goal is to raise enough funds (15 million DKK)to cover the costs of the gene-therapy treatment <strong>(Zolgensma)</strong> and additional expenses like travel, consultation fee and accomodation during her treatment abroad.  By giving Ayah this treatment, we hope to give her an almost normal childhood where she will be able to play with her big sister without any major obstacle. <strong>We are in a race against time to achieve our goal since this treatment is currently only approved for children under 2 years old.</strong><br /><br /><strong>We would like to invite you to help Ayah's family, friends and network create awareness around this fundraising by sending us your prayers, positive thoughts, contribute financially and/or share this invitation with more networks so that we may reach as many helpful souls as possible. Every single contribution means the world to us. <br /><br />We hope to get Ayah treated as soon as we raise all the funds needed.  $2.1 million will be used to buy the drug zolgensma. The remaining $300,000 and any additional donations will be used for treatment at Boston Children's Hospital, travel and accommodation during our stay in the USA. Thank you so much for your kind donations!!</strong><br /><br /><strong>please follow Ayah´s journey on :</strong><br /><br /><br /><strong>facebook: Little Ayah</strong><br /><strong>Instagram: @little.ayah</strong><br /><br /><br />REFERENCE:  <a href="http://www.curesma.org">www.curesma.org<br /><br /></a><br />About me:<br />Mary, Little Ayah's mother, reached out to me through a friend to set up an American GoFundMe account on her behalf, as GoFundMe requires an American to handle American accounts. I am acting as her pro-bono fundraiser. All funds will be sent directly to Mary to use for Ayah's treatment and stay in the US while her daughter is receiving care. I will not take any portion of any funds raised. We deeply appreciate your kind contributions!
