Help Bailey Get Back to the Life She Loves

Bailey is a passionate artist with a deep love for nature and the outdoors. Whether she’s gardening, caring for her chickens, or camping under the stars, being outside has always been her joy.

But in recent years, Bailey’s health has taken a turn. In 2021, she was diagnosed with cirrhosis, and later with pulmonary hypertension—a serious complication related to her liver disease. These conditions have made it increasingly difficult for her to stay active and enjoy the life she loves.

Despite her challenges, Bailey remains determined. She now lives with a continuous infusion line, which makes exposure to sunlight and water difficult, and a restricted diet due to both her medications and health needs. She also has a biliary drain that must remain in place until she can receive a liver transplant—adding another layer of urgency and complexity to her daily life.

Bailey is now fundraising to help cover the significant expenses associated with her upcoming liver transplant. These include travel and lodging costs for over a month away from home, life-saving medications, and insurance co-pays. The estimated cost is around $6,000—but that could rise significantly if complications arise.

Your support can help Bailey regain her health and return to the activities she loves most—snowboarding, camping, exploring the beach, and fulfilling her dream of backpacking through the canyons of Utah with her husband and dog.

Thank you for helping Bailey reclaim her future.
