Ashlyn’s Story:
Strength in Every Transfusion

_{When Ashlyn suddenly grew tired and struggled to catch her breath on the baseball field, her family knew something was wrong. Within days, she was diagnosed with B-cell leukemia and required immediate blood and platelet transfusions to survive lifesaving treatments that quickly restored her color, energy, and strength.}

_{Throughout her journey, she received multiple blood products that helped her continue treatment while keeping her bright, creative spirit alive as she filled hospital days with drawing, crafts, and laughter. Her family leaned on one another, finding hope in a new normal made possible by donors. As her mom shares, “Gulf Coast Blood is important to me because it saved my daughter’s life. Blood donors give kids a fighting chance to beat cancer.”}
