I fully surrendered to Him. When I chose to really follow Jesus, that’s when He started working on my heart.
—Ashleigh
To Ashleigh, her mother’s crime and its aftermath came out of nowhere, like a sudden, shocking nightmare. Everything about Ashleigh’s life in Cocoa, Florida, had seemed healthy and stable. Her parents loved and cared for her and her older brothers. They went to church as a family every week.
Then when Ashleigh was 8 years old, her mom was arrested and sentenced to 37 years in prison for a serious offense that she had kept hidden from her family.
Ashleigh’s mother was now hours away in prison, and Ashleigh wasn’t even allowed to visit. She had a difficult time accepting and navigating this new life without her mother.
All over the country, children with a mom or dad in prison still need someone to provide them an Angel Tree Christmas this year. Will it be you? Choose a child to sponsor virtually today!
The Good News of Jesus is that He came not just for a select few, but for all people, including men and women behind bars and for those who feel their lives are beyond repair. His hope can reach every single one of us. Hear and receive this beautiful message.
