Ashley Carrier and Nick Jr. Fund

ON JULY 20TH IN THE EARLY MORNING NICK HOLLIS ENTERED THE APARTMENT OF ASHLEY CARRIER WHERE ASHLEY AND HER 5 MONTH OLD SON NICHOLAS WERE RESIDING.

NICK HOLLIS THREATENED ASHLEY TO EITHER BE WITH HIM OR HE WOULD "KILL" HER. ASHLEY BACKED NICK INTO THE KITCHEN SO HER SON WOULD NOT BE INVOLVED SHE THEN REACHED FOR PEPPER SPRAY AND NICK SPRAYED HER WITH IT, THEN HE SMASHED HER HEAD INTO THE KITCHEN COUNTER, THEN STABBED ASHLEY 6 TIMES. NICK LEFT THE RESIDENCE WITH HER CELL PHONE TO PREVENT HER FROM CALLING FOR HELP. ASHLEY WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A NEIGHBORS HOME FOR HELP AND CALL HER MOTHER SUE EDSELL WHO CALLED DISPATCH. ASHLEY WAS TRANSPORTED TO UofLOUISVILLE KY HOSPITAL WHERE SHE WAS TREATED FOR 2 COLLAPSED LUNGS, STAB WOUNDS, AND RECEIVED BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS. ASHLEY HAS STAPLES AND STITCHES. SHE ALSO HAS A SCRATCH ON HER EYE AND IS TRYING HER BEST TO RECOVER.

ASHLEY WILL BE OFF FROM WORK FOR AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF TIME. HER PARENTS ARE TRYING THEIR BEST TO MEET HER BILLS AND SUPPORT ALL EXPENSES FOR HER AND HER 5 MONTH OLD SON. SHE HAS MOUNTING COSTS RELATED TO THIS INCIDENT.

ASHLEY IS THE MANAGER OF VALERO IN BRANDENBURG. SO AT THIS TIME SHE CAN NOT WORK LEAVING HER WITH OVERDUE BILLS. 

IF YOU ARE ABLE TO HELP IN ANY WAY IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. 

ASHLEY HAS SURVIVED A BRAIN TUMOR SURGERY THAT ALMOST TOOK HER SIGHT. SHE NOW HAS A SCRATCH ON HER EYE FROM THE ATTACK. ASHLEY AND HER SON NICK REALLY NEED SOME FINANCIAL ASSISTANT AT THIS TIME. SO IF YOU CAN FIND IN YOUR HEART TO HELP THIS FAMILY GET BACK ON THEIR FEET. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 

IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO MAY BE A VICTIM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CALL 911 YOU MAY SAVE A LIFE TONIGHT. 

WE ALL LOVE YOU ASHLEY AND BABY NICK.
