Supporting Ashley and Noel

Gaithersburg, MD

Story

Hi, everyone! Since announcing that I have cancer, everyone has asked how they can help. This page is that answer. Ways we'd love your help: - Meals during recovery and treatment - texts and calls - video game / decompress time with Noel - sending us good TV/Book/Movie recommendations - sending funny memes (we are dealing through humor) We will be adding more dates/information/ways to help when we get my chemo schedule. Navigating cancer is incredibly overwhelming. Your calls and texts and memes make this journey so much better. We love you and we thank you for being there while we figure this out and get me healthy again. - Ashley (and Noel)


Special Notes

Dietary restrictions: no olives, seafood, or beets. For Noel's sanity, please make veggies easy to pick out (Ashley loves them, though!). Please keep the spice level to medium or below. Soups are great, as are casseroles, whatever makes you think of comfort! Delivery Ideas / Some of our favorite dishes: Thai from Thai-tanium: Panang curry, pad see ew, pad thai Indian from India Palace: Butter chicken, chana masala, any non-spinach dishes, naan Chinese from Kenny's Sub Shop (Gaithersburg): Chicken and broccoli, Lo mein, egg drop soup, any dumplings (Ashley's favorite) Greek/Med (Moby Dick's or Athen's Grill) : Noel loves kabobs, falafel, lemon chicken soup (note the no olives request for Greek/Med dishes!) Italian (Mama Lucia's): all of it. Chicken parm, a good bolongnese, italian wedding soup We also love Panera, Taco Bell (don't judge us), and Wingstop (the superior ranch).

Hey Ashley - can you create a wish list for amazon and link us to it? Or just share the links to the things you want/need here in the posts?

Fantasy Books: Can you send an example book/series you like, then I can maybe better suggest? I heard A Court of Thorns and Roses is a good series, but I haven't read it yet. It seems like it is a grown up version of Wings of Fire series? Either way, let me know if you want to try it out or some other book so I can send you, Noel and myself a copy (and any anyone else who wants to join in on it) to be reading buddies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Movies: we love irreverent comedies and sci-fi. Here are some sci-fi's let me know if you like them or not! Which streaming services do you use? If you can't get to some of these movies, but want to check them out, let me know and we can figure something out. --The 5th Element ("My favorite" :)) --The Tomorrow War --Edge of Tomorrow --The Thing --WestWorld --Omega Man (the older one) --Valerian --Mandalorian series --Fallout series --Star Wars series ( I am sure you already saw those) I'll post some more when I think of them! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For sweets, gummy candies - Lookout! They are headed your way today, tomorrow and Monday :)
