Ashley and I met through our shared passion for breeding snakes in the reptile community. Over the years, she has become a close friend and someone I deeply admire for her kindness and generosity. Ashley is a single parent to two wonderful kids, and she’s always been the first to offer help to anyone in need, whether it’s sharing her expertise or lending a hand at community events. Her positive spirit and big heart have touched so many lives, and she’s truly the kind of person who makes the world a better place.

This summer, Ashley was on her way to a group vacation with other members of our reptile community when she suffered a serious accident and broke her ankle. Since June, she hasn’t been able to work, and her state unemployment benefits have now ended. The financial strain has been overwhelming, especially as she continues to care for her children and manage household expenses. Watching Ashley struggle through this difficult time has been heartbreaking, and I know how much she’s given to others whenever she could.

I’m reaching out to our community and beyond to ask for help supporting Ashley and her family while she recovers. Every donation will go directly toward living expenses and making sure her kids are cared for. If you’ve ever been touched by Ashley’s kindness or simply want to help a family in need, please consider contributing. Your support will mean the world to her and help her get back on her feet. Thank you for any help you can give.
