Let no one say Ashlyn doesn’t care immensely for her students. She knows just how much they struggle each day, and also knows that in poverty-stricken areas all schools struggle for sufficient funding.
When she was surprised with an appearance on Ellen, it was with these exact thoughts in mind. In typical Ellen fashion, the host had a unique surprise up her sleeve that was going to leave Ashlyn in tears.
After telling Ellen a little about herself and what she did, she explained that many of the schools she goes to don’t have enough computers for the students there, and certainly don’t have iPads.
When Ellen heard that, she knew she couldn’t sit idly by and just leave things as they were. Instead, she did something that’s equally as inspiring.
Watch things play out in the brilliant video below:
We simply love people like Ashlyn, who go out of their way not to work for themselves, but to better the lives of others in need around them. She sets a shining example for us all, and it’s truly fantastic to see Ellen giving her recognition for it, as well as helping her cause.
All children deserve equality and chances in life. It’s down to people like Ashlyn that they have it!
