Who We Are… The Ashway Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides support to families that have suffered a significant and permanent medical setback with their child. The Ashway Foundation focuses on the structure of the family as the ultimate support system of the child afflicted with the medical condition. The Inspiration… With great strength and love, Ashley had to learn how to breathe again, how to live again, and how to smile again. She touches everyone she meets with her quiet perseverance, her unyielding quest for normalcy and her gentle smile in the midst of discomfort….but that is just Ashley’s way. To increase the support to the family is to directly increase the support to the child. The Ashway Foundation does this by offering a peaceful, home-like environment for these families to go to for a short period of time following the hospital. The Ashway House is a transition home which focuses on preparing the family to cope with their physical environment while overcoming emotional hurdles. The Ashway Foundation is about integration vs. isolation and seeks, through one-on-one assistance, to help families achieve a balance in their lives, to reduce bitterness and to maintain normalcy. Offering these families a beautiful and quiet home to go to for a brief period of time is a beginning. For the family, it is the beginning of a lifetime with a whole new set of challenges. For The Ashway Foundation it is the beginning for the family on their journey home. How You Can Help… Helping even one child, one family, can make a difference. With your continued support, we can effect a change. The Ashway Foundation 278 Main Street Oxford, Massachusetts 01540 Contact: Kathleen Leveillee (508) 987-6427 levs@peoplepc.com
