A wish for Ashley

Donation protected
Ashley and I have worked side by side for years now. When I first met her she was a very young breast cancer survivor. Breast cancer in her mid twenties, talk about bad luck. But she never let it keep her down, or complained about it. Ashley has been consistently one of the most positive and kindest people I have ever known. In spite of the never ending curve ball that seem to be thrown her way, she maintains her positive attitude. After months of chronic and debilitating back pain, Ashley was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in her spine. Sometimes life wants to kick you when you're down. She still does not let it keep her down, she remains upbeat and positive.


As Ashley will tell you there is always some good in everything. During her stay in the hospital something wonderful happened, she got engaged. This September Ashley will be getting married to her beau Jeremy. I could not be happier for the two of them. The two of them are so in love that it just makes you want to smile. Make sure to remember to congratulate her next time you see her.


Ashley has been saving for a house for years, and cancer treatment, weddings, houses are all expensive things. It is my most sincere and heartfelt wish that she get to to something amazing that she and Jeremy will truly enjoy. Be it to just simply be debt free from the medical bills, have an amazing wedding, buy a home, or just take that once in a lifetime vacation that everyone deserves.


Many people have approached me about what they can do to help Ashley, so this go fund me page is born. The outpouring of genuine love and support is truly enough to move one to tears. Ashley tends to be a proud independent woman, and would probably never do this for herself. However, you don't always get to choose when; people decide to be nice to you, help you, or show how much they care. I know that there are a lot of us out there who love Ashley and truly want her to be happy in whichever way she chooses.
