Dear Ryan, 

Ashley is a newer employee of my family’s business who has become a friend.

She is an amazing single mother that is doing her best to make ends meet for her 2 girls!

She isn't going to be able to get Christmas gifts for them as she has been struggling the last few years and finally was able to get her own place for the first time in May.

Having rent makes things very tight, but having this place has put her in a much better position in life.

She is a wonderful person that is so deserving of some extra help and love this holiday season.

She has been knocked down over the years, but she continues to get back up with a smile on her face.
