Okay, guys (and girls)... I don't ask ya'll for much, but now I really need your help!  You know I've been dealing with A LOT lately, between my medical and emotional problems.  I haven't updated you on my current health situation because I wanted to be sure before I pass on any other info.  As you know, I've been battling cancer for about a year and a half now... And I'm doing very, VERY well!  I'm feeling much stronger and just generally better overall.  However, my Oncologist has recommended some more treatments that will help my situation even more, and also as a preventive measure for anything wrong in the future.  Another small surgery, some more tests, etc.  Nothing major, but it feels like I definitely should do as my Doc suggests, because I like being healthy and he knows what I need to do to stay that way! ;-)  Because I don't have health insurance, my medical treatments have been costing me a fortune.  Almost 100% of my income has gone to getting myself healthy, and as a result I got far behind on my bills and other payments.  Ya'll helped me out last year getting current and keeping up with my treatments.  I'm doing much better, but I will need a little recovery time if I proceed with the recommended surgery and other stuff.  With the medical costs and the recovery time... I think I might fall behind again.  The same friend who suggested I ask you for help the first time, suggested I do it again.  I've never been the kind of girl to ask for help, so this is rather awkward for me.  I've had several of you ask me what you can do to help, so I'll take that as a cue to ask for support.

Donations - I've always been very self-sufficient and I've hardly ever had to ask for financial help.  However, with all that's gone wrong the past few months, I will include this option in my plan to get back on track.  I appreciate your donations! :-)  I don't believe it's right to get something for nothing, so in return I will send you a special thank you gift. 

Custom Videos and Photos - If you've ever been interested in ordering a custom movie or photoset, now would be an awesome time to do so!  I'll shoot a special scene, just for you.  I'll wear what you want, say what you want, do what you want (within reason, of course!).  This movie or photo gallery will be made specifically for YOU, nobody else will ever see it (unless you show it to them).  **NOTE: I expect I will have good days and bad days, like I did last year.  Last year I would confirm the custom pics/video with the interested party, and I would give them a date I knew for sure I could deliver, generally 2 or 3 weeks later.  That way I have a little time to play with, so I can do it on a good day and deliver you exactly what you want! :-)

Private Shoots - If you live in AZ or are planning to be in the area, and would like to schedule a private shoot with me, now would be a great time to do so!  You get to shoot with me, in the flesh, privately.  You shoot the pics, you direct me and I'll show off and perform for you.  I'm also available to travel to you for a private shoot, with all expenses paid.

Private Webcam Shows - I've had a bunch of requests for these in the past, and now that I've got an awesome video camera I can do this!  I'll chat with you private, just you and I.  I'll turn on my cam so you can see me, and I'll show off... Just for you!

An Upcoming, Brand New, Melissa-Ashley Movie - It's been quite a while since I shot a movie for general release, and I know you've been wanting one 'cause I get email about it almost every day!  I will be shooting a brand new movie (starring me, doing all the things I do best) in the next few days.  This movie will only be available for purchase through Melissa-Ashley.com, and I will be taking pre-orders soon!  **NOTE: I have my brand new movie shot and ready to go... I'm just trying to figure out the best ways to deliver the movie to you.  I'd love to get it to you online somehow, or by a DVD.  If you have any thoughts or suggestions about how I can do this, please let me know!  Also, if you emailed me before about wanting the new movie, could you please email me again?  My inbox somehow ate the folder I had all the requests in! :-(

So that's it; that's my plan.  If you can help in any way, please do so.  Thanks for reading this through, and as always thank you for your love and support!
