Support Ashley & Her Family!

I just wanted to thank everyone for their donations. Ashley is a very independent person. This is going to help her become that again! I want to thank all of you for everything, you have know idea of what this means to me, and how she is going to know that so many people are there for her. I want to thank you in Ashley’s behalf because I know that she will be amazed by the amount of support she has. I also want to thank all involved in this. Again, Thank You for all your kindness. Ashley’s mother, Trina

My blue eyed girl, Ashley I Love You. She has a long road ahead of her, but she is going to do great things.

“We make living by what we get, we make life by what we give.” Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

This is Ashley’s brother Nick I’m 13. I want to thank all of you for your donations. She is my sister and she is going to be alright I know it. I love her and so does my sister and everyone else. She is looking better from the first day or two so she will get better, I just know it.

Ashley’s family is doing everything they can to be near Ashley during this hard time. Her immediate family is staying in a motel outside of the Memorial Medical Center in Springfield, and everyone else is driving back and forth from Flora as much as possible. Unfortunately the Red Cross can’t help with her family’s expenses because they were not directly victims of the fire. The Ronald MacDonald House also can’t help because Ashley is over 21.

Also, Ashley is staying in a “clean room” as to avoid any risk for infection, so no flowers are permitted by her bed. Instead of sending flowers to the hospital, how about sending gas cards?

If anyone wants to donate gas cards or money specifically for the family, please send an email to ashleydonationfund@gmail.com and indicate that you would like your donation to go specifically to practical expenses for Ashley’s family.

Thank you so much for your love and support! Every thought, prayer, message, and donation brings comfort to her family!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! So far we’ve raised $25,000 and are still accepting donations for the Ashley Ames Scholarship Fund.

Ashley’s mother, father, brother, sister,  grandmothers, and the rest of her extended family thank you so much for your thoughts, prayers, and generosity!
