About Ashley's Hope
Ashley's Hope is a non-profit organization founded by
Jennifer Nelich in October of 2006 to provide support to
families with children who are touched by a long-term
illness.

Ashley’s Hope is a non-profit organization founded by Jennifer
Nelich in honor of her daughter Ashley Nelich along with a
wonderful friend Jillian Puma.

When Ashley was 19 months old she was diagnosed with bi-
lateral Wilm’s tumors-tumors in both kidneys.  After 6 months of
chemotherapy she was scanned and the tumors returned.  
Doctors removed part of her right kidney and began more
aggressive chemotherapy.  In July 2004 doctors put Ashley in
pre-remission.  Then exactly 1 year from that date she was
rescanned and the doctors found the tumors returned again.  
Ashley is the ONLY child to have this cancer return a 3rd time.  
She underwent another surgery to remove more of her right
kidney and began radiation and chemotherapy.  She is still not in
remission and experiences several side effects from the
treatments.  
             
Ashley's cancer has caused great strain on her single mother
raising Ashley and her sister Bryanna.   Thanks to family, friends
and generous people she has been able to make it through very
tough times.  The family knows how hard it is as a family and a
single parent to provide the basics - place to live, food on the
table, gas in the car, parking fees, heat and electricity, phone
(including cell), etc.  Jennifer Nelich founded Ashley's Hope in
October 2006 to assist families that truly need the help and to
give them back HOPE!
