Ashley Kleiber

Ashley Needs Your Support!

Three years ago, after the loss of her daughter Harper Grace, Ashley Kleiber was diagnosed with pulmonary fibro elastosis. Ashley is currently the only one in the state of WI to have this rare disease. Ashley’s condition worsened quickly and she had to stop working. More recently, her health declined dramatically and she was placed on the waiting list for a bilateral lung transplant.

Ashley received her transplant on Saturday May 30th and is currently undergoing another reconstructive surgery on her chest to correct what her doctors say is a very rare chest deformity. At the present moment her chest is still open and we are not sure when they will be able to close her up. Ashley needs our help the medical bills are mounting daily.

Ashley’s husband and stepson Karter miss having her home with them, and she misses her beloved fur babies, Belle, Skylar, and Honey – they are missing her presence as well. Ashley misses being able to attend church with her family at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Manitowoc, WI. She also misses being able to paint and design her finger nails as this was a passion of hers and would help pass the time. After many years of helping others as a CNA, Ashley is now the one who needs our help.

Recovering from a lung transplant is a long and difficult journey on its own, and the financial aspects, even with insurance are daunting. Medical copays, anti-rejection medications that she will have to take for the rest of her life, and care-giver expenses for several months post-transplant are more than Ashley and her family can handle on their own.

To help with the financial burden of Ashley’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in her honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the North-Central Lung Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider making a contribution.

Thank you for your prayers, support and generosity. Please know that your contribution counts. On behalf of Ashley and her family, we thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

Gratefully,
