Your Support is needed for TEAM ASHLEY

Help and Support needed!!! WIll you join TEAM ASHLEY?

First of all this was not an easy decision for me to mix personal with business, however after much consideration I feel it is necessary to raise support for my daughter Ashley Mitchell. By no means do I intend to offend anyone and this message is personally from Nicole Mitchell and not on behalf of M7 Logistics. I have worked with many of you directly and indirectly over the last 23 years in the transportation industry, I know there have been many life events for all of us that we have experienced together ones that make us laugh some that make us celebrate and some that have made us cry, all of which has bound us together in our hearts.

As a lot of you know I have not been around on a daily basis. Over the last year I have been attending to my daughter’s medical needs. Last March Ashley was diagnosed with brain lesion in the front left lobe of her brain cause is unknown accompanied with other diagnoses epilepsy unexplained fluid and inflammation in her brain. At this time the doctor thought we would do a “wait and see” approach. Last June my 8 year old daughter tried to take her life. This was not by choice of Ashley but purely a behavior and reaction to the uncontrolled emotion and thoughts. The effected part of her brain controls her short term memory, emotions, and psychiatric. Ashley started having seizures requiring medication to help control, by October these medication became toxic to Ashley and was borderline liver failure. Ashley’s conditions are literally deteriorating her academically (she is in 3rd grade and testing below kindergarten levels, in the first grade she was testing average of middle of 4th grade levels), physically, socially and emotionally. Daily Ashley is so full of anxiety not being able to process what is happening, and why she is so different, she is insecure, and scared. After much research and advocating for my daughter we found a doctor who agreed to look at Ashley’s medical file.

On January 7th the specialist from the Barrow Neurological Institute called and advised they believe it is critical for Ashley to be cared for from their team and they believe they can help her. On March 21st Ashley will be admitted to Phoenix Children’s Hospital in Arizona. They have her scheduled to be released on her birthday April 11th, assuming they are able to gather enough information for a plan of care. I already have mounting medical bills and expecting many more along with travel expenses, and care for my other 4 children who will remain in Omaha while I am away. I am reaching out asking you for your help and support in helping my daughter Ashley. I started campaigning for Ashley and have set up a Facebook page to follow, like and share…ashleymitchelljourney2acure. I am in the process of building her website www.ashleymitchelljourney2acure.com online you can donate directly all credit card and pay pal types are accepted you can also purchase “Team Ashley” shirts $20.00 all proceeds go to Ashley’s care.

My family believes there is many needs out there and we are spreading our wings and opening up opportunities that currently do not exist. Ashley’s Wings is formed and we are in the background building the platform, nonprofits cannot support personal interest therefore I cannot campaign for my daughter through the non-profit. Big things to come.
