Hey everyone—this is personal.
I want to share a GoFundMe for a dear friend of mine, Ashley, who I met a few years ago while staying in a shelter program. From the moment we met, I saw her light—even when she was in one of the darkest chapters of her life. She’s battled addiction, homelessness, and so many obstacles… but she never gave up. And now, she’s over two years clean and fighting to rebuild her life the right way.
Ashley recently moved from Appleton, WI to Missouri for a fresh start, and she’s doing so well. But like many people trying to get back on their feet, she’s hit a few roadblocks—trying to get her license back, cover court-required classes, afford transportation, and land steady work.
What makes this even more special is the bond we built through music. While at the shelter, we realized we both had a love for OverTime. She shared how OverTime’s music helped her through some of her darkest moments—and honestly, it helped me too. It became our connection, our motivation, and part of what kept her moving forward.
I’ve seen Ashley go through the highs and the lowest of lows—and I was proud to stand by her side when she had no one else. Now, she just needs a little help from all of us to keep going strong.
Please consider donating or sharing her story. Even a small gesture can help someone stay on their path.
Let’s lift her up.

I wrote this for someone who’s fought through hell and kept rising—Ashley, this one’s for you. You’ve come so far, and I couldn’t be more proud of your strength, your heart, and your journey. I’ve watched you grow from survival to rebuilding—and I believe in you with everything I’ve got.

Yo Ash,
I see you shining—don’t you dare forget,
You came from the fire, now you rising with no regret.
You turned your pain into power, girl, that’s strength in motion,
And I’m here to remind you—you’re more than your emotion.
From Appleton nights to Missouri’s grind,
You kept your head up, even when life wasn’t kind.
I watched you grow, I watched you fight,
I saw the dark—but now you glow in the light.
This ain’t just a struggle, it’s a comeback in play,
You’re writing your story, one brave step a day.
I’m proud of you more than these words can show,
And I’ll ride with you, girl, wherever you go.
You’re not alone—nah, not in this test,
You’re a warrior in progress, a damn beautiful mess.
So when the world says no, you still push through,
’Cause you’re strong, you’re fire—and I believe in you.
