Hi friends, I’m organizing this fundraiser for my best friend, Ashleigh Kaplan.
Ashleigh one of the most generous and fiercely loyal people I’ve ever met. She’s the friend who shows up—every time— whether you need to cry, or celebrate, or sit on the couch and binge Grey’s Anatomy. However, right now, she needs us to show up for her.
Ashleigh was recently diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. She’s 30, a new mom, and fighting the biggest battle of her life. On top of treatment, she’s also raising her beautiful baby girl, Eliana, and trying to keep her small business afloat—all with a fraction of her usual energy.
The truth is, the medical bills are piling up fast. Insurance only covers so much, and the out-of-pocket costs are overwhelming. Ashleigh is doing everything she can to stay strong, to stay hopeful, and to stay present for her daughter—but no one should have to carry this kind of burden alone.
Ashleigh has spent her whole life giving to others. She’s raised money for Sharsheret, JNF, EGPAF, the MS Foundation, and Children’s Miracle Network, and countless other organizations. She leads with love. Always.
Now it’s our turn to love her back. This fundraiser will help cover the heavy costs of treatment, childcare, and day-to-day expenses that come with facing cancer as a young mom.
If you can give, please know it will make a real, tangible difference. And if you can’t give right now, sharing this or sending some prayers her way means the world, too. Let’s show her she’s not alone in this.
With all the love in the world,
Alison Zador
P.S. Thank you for helping save my best friend
