Happy New Year!

Welcome to
Ashley's website. Ashley is a beautiful girl who is
living with chronic life threatening liver disease called
biliary atresia. Since her birth she has spent numerous nights
and days in and out of the hospital in the hopes that those visits
will prolong her need for a liver transplant. Biliary atresia is the
number one cause for children under the age of two to require a
liver transplant. The disease has no known cause or cure; a
liver transplant is their only hope.
Ashley's liver disease is now progressing
to the point that she will need a liver transplant in the very near
future. Her doctors feel that she will need a liver transplant
within the next 3 years. Therefore, her family created this
website to raise the necessary funds to cover a liver transplant and
to raise awareness of organ donation and biliary atresia.
Please take the time to visit all parts of
Love for Ashley. Read more about Ashley's story, get to know
her family, keep up with Ashley by reading her blog. Take a
look at the photo album (coming soon) so that you can see that
despite her illness, Ashley looks like a normal child full of life
and love. Read the story, "Welcome to Holland" for a better
understanding of "our world." Visit the links section
and you will find areas to visit that will teach you more about
biliary atresia, organ donation and you may even meet a few special
children just like Ashley. Learn who this website is dedicated
to and why. Please visit the fundraising section and find it in your
heart to donate to Ashley's Liver Transplant Fund; every little bit
gets Ashley one step closer to receiving her Gift of Life.
Thank you for caring about Ashley, your
love and prayers are a real blessing.
