Elon Musk's obscene wealth is on full display while people like me continue to drown in medical debt. I'm Ashley - wife, mom, 5th grade teacher & #stage4 #cancer warrior! I have been fighting for 19 years (in various stages). I believe in #HealthcareForAll. Until then, I need help. Please share!

Fighting #cancer is the hardest thing I've ever done. It's been an 18 year battle - now stage 4. I need to raise $ for my full body PET scan & the $4,900 Signatera tests (4x a year) insurance doesn't cover. 🔗 www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-mom... Please SHARE and help if you're able. I'm grateful. ❤️

Have you heard about Nevada Neymar Pierre, a 3-year-old soccer prodigy, has gone viral following a controversial incident where police were called to his youth soccer match and removed the boy because he was playing too good! He scored 40 goals in 5 games! And these asshole parents called 911. WTF!

I wish I'd made videos of my then two-year-old daughter singing along with Freddie Mercury to Queen songs as a tiny child. She's 21 now, and still singing for her life. This little girl's progression is adorable and incredible. Belt that Tina Turner, Kiddo!

I have had #cancer for nearly half my life. Lately, it has taken a severe toll on my mental health. I find myself sitting around a lot... worrying about the future. Will I be here to watch my kids grow? Love my husband? But I need to get back to living! I want to live with it, not die from it. ❤️

Another day, another denial. Every couple months, my Signatera ctDNA test gets denied again. They say it's "experimental" & hasn't been proven to increase outcomes for patients, but it tells my oncologist if I have tumor DNA in my body BEFORE it would show up on a scan! $4,900. Every 2 months. 🫩😞
