Abandoned by her mother at just two weeks of age, Ashana's childhood continued to be a series of abandonments. Despite being a bright kid who loved school, this lack of love and care turned Ashana’s life into chaos. From as early as eleven months of age, Ashana’s mother would put coffee in her bottle, sparking a lifelong caffeine addiction.
