Funeral and cremation expenses for Ashley

*UPDATE* 7.9.23

Thank you everyone for the money you’ve donated, the word spread, and all the love and support our family has received from family, friends and the community. We’ve almost reached our goal of 3,000 to cover the cost of cremation and I just wanted to let everyone know how much relief that has brought my aunt while she’s going through planning a service for her daughter. Any funds donated after the goal will go towards the cost of her service, an urn for her ashes, a plane ticket home for her daughter who traveled from Virginia to be with her family, and the rest split between her children. The outpour of support we’ve received thus far has truly warmed our hearts. ♥️

Hi, my name is Kancise and I’m looking to help raise funds for the cremation and funeral services of my cousin Ashley Bates Voiles. Ashley was a caring, passionate individual who struggled with mental health for most of her life. At 38 years old she had lived a life not many could imagine. But throughout all of her struggles, she remained the type of person who would give someone her coat in negative weather when she needed it herself. Ashley passed away tragically at the beginning of this month, leaving behind her mother, a 21 year old daughter, a 17 year old son, a sister, nieces and nephews, a grandmother and so many cousins, aunts, uncles and friends. I would like to take away the financial part of what this has put on her mother. We are asking for $3,000 to cover the cost of her cremation, and if any funds are left over they will go towards an urn to hold her ashes, cost of the service, a plane ticket home for her daughter who traveled from Virginia to be here with family, and the rest split between her children.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to anyone who is able to donate or spread the word.
