Ashly Ayers aka Ashly Collins

From the day she was born, my niece, Ashly, has been dealt a cruel hand. She was a victim of abandonment and molestation, suffering through mental illness because of it.

Despite her struggle through mental illness, Ashly had two kids; both of whom she loved unconditionally, but could not care for properly.

Our family took her in to live with us and sought to give her the care and support that she needed.

Recently, our family has been given the heartbreaking news that Ashly was found, unresponsive in a creek, in Irving, Texas. The MEs and detectives are considering the idea of manslaughter. We love her so much, and we cannot afford to bring her home.

Please, help our family. Give her children closure. Let us properly mourn the loss of a beautiful soul who did not deserve to go so soon.
