Dear Friends and Supporters,

Our beloved friend Ashley is facing a significant challenge as she battles stage 2 breast cancer. As she embarks on this journey to overcome cancer, she needs our help, prayers, and unwavering support more than ever.

I've had the privilege of knowing Ashley for nearly 30 years, and I can genuinely say she's one of the most thoughtful and independent individuals you could ever meet. She's always been there for others, and now it's our turn to be there for her.

As a single mom and a dedicated business owner, Ashley is juggling multiple responsibilities along with the stress of treatment. We’re reaching out to ask for your support in helping to ease the financial burden of her medical bills and personal expenses.

If you're able to contribute, any amount would be greatly appreciated. If you're not in a position to donate at this time, please keep Ashley in your prayers and remember the importance of regular health screenings.Please read Ashley’s recent post about her journey which illustrates her strength and positivity.

Next Monday, I embark on a challenging path - one that I never thought I’d be on. Recently, I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Grade 2 breast cancer, which has spread to one lymph node.

My journey begins with a double mastectomy, reconstruction, and lymph node removal. Recovery will take around 4-6 weeks, and I’ll be taking time off until June. Thankfully, my amazing team at the salon will keep everything running smoothly.

Chemotherapy will be part of my journey, but details are still being finalized. Losing my breasts and hair will be tough, but I’m trying to stay strong, focusing on my kids and ensuring I’m here for them.

This road ahead won’t be easy, but I’m grateful for your love and support. To those who already know, thank you for being there. I appreciate your messages, but please bear with me as I wrap up appointments and prepare for surgery.

Your kindness means everything. #breastcancerawareness #staystrong
