Hi, my name is Ashley… founder of Golden Roads!!

I began 1st grade at a new school when my little sister and I were removed from my mother’s custody and went to live with our grandma. Growing up, my dad was in and out of jail/prison. For me, this meant growing up with my teachers, other family members, and the parents of my new friends often filling that missing role of “mom” and “dad”.

Special occasions like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, and birthdays are supposed to be an exciting time to celebrate and feel all of the love in the world. At school and at home, we’d decorate cards, get/give gifts, get together with our loved ones, and so on. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely loved doing all of those things as a child… but these occasions always made me face the fact that I was decorating a card or picking out a gift that I likely was not going to get to give directly to either of my parents. So I’d make things at school on Mother’s Day for my grandma and on Father’s Day, I’d just draw something on a piece of paper that I knew I’d be allowed to, at least, mail to my dad’s prison. Although I wanted so badly to just be like the other kids in my class and to be able to just do what everyone else was doing, these times reminded me that things for me simply weren’t the same.

A personal goal of mine is to positively impact children’s lives who grew up with similar situations that I did. I want to make sure as many kids as I can feel as much love and “normalcy” growing up as possible. I know how not growing up with both or even one parent affects a kid. That is why I am beyond excited to announce the start of my nonprofit organization that would have helped fill a small void in my own childhood— Golden Roads 💛

Golden Roads is dedicated to breaking cycles of isolation for children impacted by incarceration by preserving family connections through thoughtful gifts, personal letters, and community support.

In 2026, we are so excited to be working directly with the Northeast Correctional Center to sponsor events on holidays such as Father’s Day and Christmas for eligible offenders. At these events, children who are allowed and want contact with their incarcerated father will have the chance to come with their families to the prison to enjoy supervised family-fun with their father. These events will allow children to have time to interact with their entire family, play games, do crafts, eat snacks, etc. in the most “normal” possible way, given their circumstances.

This year, we will be implementing a program where children will actually be receiving an in-person Christmas card/letter and present from their dad that was specifically picked out by them for their child.

For most families, these things are just day-to-day, normal activities. For children who have parents who are behind bars, they do not get to experience the excitement and love of opening a gift from their parent, getting to give them a big hug, and tell them thank you or that they love them so much. A child shouldn’t have to serve their parent’s sentence… but unfortunately, emotionally, they do the time and then some. Golden Roads was created to gift light to children left behind.
