Guest Name: Ashley Brown

In this episode:

• Ashley Brown is the Founder and CEO of Selfless Love Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that leverages resources, expertise, and proven solutions to improve the child welfare system, creating opportunities for more foster youth to find their forever families and thrive in adulthood.
• Ashley was put up for adoption as a baby, and through elementary school she wore that fact as a sense of pride. In her own words, she always felt she had “hit the family jackpot.” She describes the ripple effect of when a family decides to adopt a child, therefore changing the life of the child and the life of the family members.
• She describes the challenges for children who age-out of the foster care system, often facing homelessness after turning age 18 and not being chosen for adoption. Selfless Love Foundation formed a partnership with Children’s Harbor to create Brown’s Harbor, a supportive housing community for former foster youth ages 18-23 that helps bridge the gap from dependence to independence.
• Ashley and Selfless Love Foundation work to help get families ready for adoption, and they help the hardest-to-place children find their forever families.

This is a One Mission Podcast.

Cancer can steal a kid’s childhood – we help them get it back through
programs and activities that foster friendship, fun, and positive
distractions from treatment. Whether it’s putting on holiday
celebrations, providing art and music therapy or paying for expensive
hospital parking, we make life brighter for children and their families
from the moment of diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.
