My name is Allison Chisholm and I am starting this because of the many requests we have gotten from friends and family to donate to Ashley on her journey to justice and the costs that have and will come with it. I know she would not do this herself but she has so many people that love her and want to help!

Here is her story in her words:

This is gonna be a long post. 26 years in the making. When I was 15 years old I was sexually assaulted by my then step father. He was 25, Charlie Chisholm, the one in the mug shot being shared today. I got pregnant from the assault. I had a baby, she died three hours later from extreme prematurity. I had natural childbirth, alone in the hospital. So scared and the pain so unbearable I thought I was going to die. A 15 year old body isn't meant to carry a child. Two days later I buried that baby. So at 15 years old I had been sexually assaulted, became pregnant, and buried a child. I had been in a private Christian school my whole life. I was very obviously immediately kicked out. So I started a public school. Two weeks after burying my baby. I started a new school. Embarrassed, scared, broken, so alone in what had really happened to me. I told no one. I didnt know what to do, I just knew I had to go on. So thats what I did. Obviously now as an adult I know what all I should have done. But I was a scared 15 year old then. Bullied and abused by a man ten years older than me. Not to mention he was actually a predator. He knew me my whole life. Like watched me grow up. His sister was married to my uncle. I was a flower girl in their wedding. He was a groomsmen. Let that sink in. Now at what point did he start looking at me as a sexual object. Thats scary. I had always promised myself if I thought he was gonna hurt another child I would speak up. Fast forward to this year. He had been begging my sister to keep her kids. As soon as I found out I started this process. I cant allow him to have the chance to hurt someone else. Him and his wife thats smiling and waving walking out his bond hearing for raping a 15 year old, are trying to adopt and foster children. I cant have that on my conscience. And I know for a fact he has done this to others. But their story is not mine to tell. But mine is. If I could go back and tell it earlier I would. But I did the best I could at the time. If anyone wants to reach out to me I will listen without judgement. If you are like the two laughing in the photo with him coming out of his bond hearing, I hope you never know the hurt of it happening to you or someone you love. That's disgusting, there was nothing funny. I hope I dont have any friends that thinks criminal sexual assault of a minor is funny. If so you know what to do, delete me. This has been the hardest thing I've done in my life. I never wanted to go back to that place. To relive such a horrible thing that happened to me. But to protect my neice and nephew theres no way I wouldn't. If nothing else, I saved them. Like I always said I would do. And for all the support, I cant thank you enough. It means so much to me. I was always told no one would believe me. Bullied into quietness. However I'm not that scared 15 year old girl anymore. I'm gonna tell my truth loud and proud.
