Our beloved Austy has been bravely fighting heart failure after her second heart transplant in October. Despite her incredible strength and the hope we all hold onto, her health has taken a turn for the worse. She now faces the most challenging days of her life, but has been embracing them with her whole beautiful, comedic, and generous self. The costs of her ongoing medical care have been overwhelming, and as a family, we are doing everything possible to be by her side. We are reaching out to our community for support to help cover medical bills, celebration of life expenses, and the many costs that come with her extended hospital stay. Your kindness and generosity will provide not only financial relief but also hope and comfort to Austy and all of us who love her dearly. No amount is too small — every bit helps during this heartbreaking time.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us and showing Austy that she is not alone in this fight, and giving her the peace of mind that her family will be taken care of when she’s no longer able to do so herself.
