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.

Ashanta has demonstrated remarkable strength and resilience throughout her journey in foster care and beyond. As she prepares to marry the love of her life, she envisions a ceremony that captures the joy and new beginnings she has worked so hard to achieve. However, the costs associated with hiring an officiant and obtaining the necessary beach wedding permit pose a challenge, especially as she focuses on her education and future. By fulfilling this wish, Ashanta will have the opportunity to celebrate her wedding day with deep meaning and confidence, marking the beginning of a beautiful new chapter in her life.
