Ashley’s Cancer Journey

Hi, my name is Ashley and I am fundraising to ease the financial burden of a cancer diagnosis.

Recently my world has been turned upside down after a terrifying diagnosis. Life was happy, normal, and I was just raising my 4 year old son and creating a happy life for my family when I started experiencing some concerning symptoms. My doctor recommended a colonoscopy. The colonoscopy confirmed my worst fear and on 1/19/2023, just days before my sons 4th birthday, I was diagnosed with colon cancer at 28. I had surgery to remove the tumor and was told I would know more about the cancer when I received my pathology results. Pathology revealed that I had lymph node involvement confirming the fact that I would need 12 rounds of chemotherapy over 6 months to help prevent the cancer from returning.

This diagnosis has hit my family hard not only emotionally but financially. I am trying to continue to work through this as long as I can and as much as I can but have taken a significant amount of time off due to surgery which has already put us in a financial strain, and I require more time off to undergo chemotherapy treatments and manage side the effects. I am asking for donations to help my family stay afloat financially as I go through this journey. If you can, please donate. Anything helps.
