My daughter, Elliana Michelle Lockley, was recently diagnosed with biliary atresia, a rare and serious liver condition. Since her diagnosis, our lives have been turned upside down. Elliana requires frequent hospital stays, surgery, and ongoing treatments, all of which are taking place several hours from our home. The travel alone is exhausting, especially as I also care for my autistic 5-year-old, and our vehicle is currently not working.
I am not able to work right now, as my focus is on Elliana’s care and managing our family’s needs. Every cent we have is carefully managed, but the mounting medical bills, travel expenses, and daily costs are overwhelming. We are doing everything we can to support Elliana through her treatments, including her recent liver transplant, but we need help to keep going.
Your support will go directly toward Elliana’s hospital stays, surgery, travel to and from her medical appointments, and the ongoing treatments she needs. Any help you can give will make a real difference for Elliana and our family as we navigate this difficult journey.
