Support Ashley and her Children During this Tragic Time

Hi, I’m April, Ashley Bates’s Cousin. As many know, Ashley's ex-husband and father of her children was killed Thursday night. She does not wish to comment on the circumstances involving his death at this time. Currently Ashley is helping her children grieve their father. Her priority is protecting their children from speculation in the media that has occurred since Taylor's death. Ashley has taken time off from work to grieve and support her and Taylor’s children.

We are aware of a fake GoFundMe account in support of Taylor Rawlins and Ashely’s children. The fake page has been reported and shut down. Ashley was very thankful to see all the thoughtful words and willingness to help financially from friends and family.

Ashley reluctantly allowed me to set up a real GoFundMe account to help assist them during this time. She wants to ensure no one feels obligated to contribute, please don't give if you do not have funds to spare. Ashley appreciates all the support that continues to be expressed.
