Support for the Willford Family's Fight for Ava

Donation protected
We are a group of friends and family of Lynn and Bryan Willford. We are fundraising on behalf of the Willford family to cover expenses and lost wages as they support and care for their daughter Ava while she awaits a life-saving liver transplant.

Ava was born with a genetic condition requiring a liver transplant when she was 3 months old. She led a healthy, vibrant life for the next 25 years, but 3 years ago her donor liver began to fail, and she now requires a second liver transplant. Due to her fragile condition, she is now at the Cleveland Clinic where her family is staying to support her in every way they can while she waits to receive the gift of life from an organ donor. There is no idea when that will happen and they will be required to stay in the Cleveland area for a minimum of 7 weeks after Ava's surgery. This means not only the loss of their primary income, but also the added expenses of being away from home.

Please consider making a donation and/or sharing this post to your social media. Any amount helps! Ava and her brother Eric are graduates of Bishop Ready HS in Columbus and Ava is an Ohio University Alumnus and member of the Delta Zeta sorority. Consider sharing this post with anyone you know who has an affiliation with one of these groups. If you are unable to donate at this time please send up some positive vibes or prayers for a successful surgery and recovery for our beautiful Ava!
Thank you to each and every one of you!
Friends of the Willford family
