Thank you for being here and for taking the time to read our story. It really does mean a lot to our family and we’re so grateful!

 

For those of you who had the privilege of watching my sister, Ashlen, care for and interact with her boys, Jaden and Adam, you could see how much she loves them. You would agree that she is a great mother and has done an excellent job raising those boys as a full-time mom up until they started preschool and kindergarten. She raised them to be amazing, kind, loving, smart, funny, respectful, and creative little boys. If you know Jaden and Adam, you know this is true! They’re incredible boys growing into awesome young men. She helped mold them into who they are today, especially those first five years of their lives, where so much of their personalities and identities are formed. You would also see how much Jaden and Adam love her too. They know how much she loves them and that says a lot.

 

But she’s not perfect. She’s made mistakes, as we all have. She’s made decisions that she wishes she could take back, as we all have. And although she can’t change the choices and decisions she’s made, I do believe in second chances - not only to make things right, but to prove we can all be better even after we fall.

 

If you know about the situation in it’s entirety, you would understand the amount of pain she is feeling right now. Even though she learned a lot from what happened - a lot about herself as a person and a mother, and just wants to do and be better, the fact of the matter is that she could lose her boys for good. 

 

Ashlen has been doing everything she possibly can to keep her boys in her life, in our lives because at the end of the day, what’s life without your family? They’re still so young, they have so much more growing to do. We want to see that and be a part of that.

 

Yes, Ashlen has made mistakes. But does that mean she doesn’t love her children? Of course not! She loves those boys so much and would feel completely empty without them! If you’re a parent, I’m sure you can understand what I’m talking about. I’m sure you can feel the hurt in your heart and the pain in your bones even just thinking about losing your children. The boys would feel that emptiness as well. They need their mother in their lives.

 

With that being said, if you’ve ever been in a legal situation, you’d know how pricey legal representation can be. She is in dire need of help from anyone willing to give some. She needs help fighting for what she believes in, which is her boys should grow up with their mother in their lives, their family in their lives.

 

Let’s help her fight this difficult battle. She can’t do this alone. If you believe in second chances and find it in your heart to help donate even the smallest amount, we would be eternally grateful! Even if you can’t help monetarily right now, a prayer would be more than enough. It breaks my heart to think we could miss out on Jaden and Adam growing up for 9+ years… Please donate, pray, share to even give us a shot at having them in our lives. I wouldn’t create this if I thought there were any other way. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

There is a relationship between a mother and a child that is unlike any other that no man will ever know.

 

Mothers are not perfect. We all have fallen short. Thanks be to our Savior Jesus Christ. Just like He has forgiven our sins we are to forgive the sins of others. We are to let go of the past and hold on to love.

 

She needs your encouragement and support, not your condemnation.

 

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 “Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not conceited, does not act improperly, is not selfish, is not provoked, and does not keep a record of wrongs. Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”


“Thank you so much to everyone who has been in my corner, encouraging me to keep fighting. I am constantly breaking down at the thought of losing my boys. But then I remember that I have to be strong - for my boys. I remember how much support I have from my family and friends. For the infinite support I have from our loving God. 

Thank you in advance for your generosity and donations, as well as your prayers. I am so grateful for all of you.”
