Ashanta has shown remarkable resilience from a young age. Impacted by DCFS and eventually aging out, she stepped into the role of caregiver for her siblings, demonstrating strength and compassion well beyond her years. Today, she is thriving in college and pushing forward toward her master’s degree, determined to create a bright future for herself and her family.

Family means everything to Ashanta, and as this special time in her life approaches, she could use help making her wedding day everything she has dreamed of. After overcoming many challenges, she is now preparing to celebrate love, resilience, and a new chapter with her partner. She dreams of wearing a beautiful gown for her wedding reception that will allow her to feel confident, radiant, and celebrated among her loved ones. With support, Ashanta can fully embrace the joy of her reception and honor the family she has built.
