Hi, my name is Ashley.
I'm a proud single mom, entrepreneur, and owner of Lashpros, an eyelash extension business I've built from the ground up since 2014. For over a decade, I've dedicated my life to helping women feel beautiful and confident while supporting my family through honest, hard work.
I graduated from Oklahoma State University with a degree in University Studies emphasizing Psychology, Sociology, and Law. Throughout my career, I've helped businesses grow by building websites, obtaining state licenses, improving operations, and securing funding. Creating, serving others, and helping people succeed has always been part of who I am.
If you've ever met me, you know I genuinely love encouraging people. Whether through my faith, my business, or everyday conversations, my purpose has always been to leave people better than I found them.
Unfortunately, my life changed dramatically in July 2025.
I experienced a traumatic event that resulted in me being held against my will for several weeks. That experience—and everything surrounding it—turned my life upside down. Since then, I've struggled with PTSD, lost my sense of security, and watched the business I spent years building suffer because of circumstances beyond my control.
The emotional impact has been overwhelming. I eventually had to leave my home and move in with my mother so my children and I would have a safe place to stay while we rebuild our lives.
As someone who has worked since I was 14 years old, never asked for handouts, and always believed in earning everything through hard work, asking for help is one of the hardest things I've ever done.
But today, I'm choosing hope.
Why I'm Raising $20,000
My dream is to create a safe, peaceful workspace where I can rebuild my business and continue serving my community.
The funds will help me purchase and complete a 12' x 32' tiny home studio that will become the new home of Lashpros.
Your donations will help cover:
• Purchase of a tiny home/shed (~$11,000)
• Interior build-out and flooring
• Electrical and plumbing
• Solar panels for long-term sustainability
• Salon equipment and furnishings
• Licensing and startup costs
• Security improvements to help my family feel safe while I work
This space won't just be for me.
My daughter is also a licensed cosmetologist, and together we'll be able to build something that creates opportunity for our family for years to come.
Why This Matters
Lashpros has never simply been about eyelashes.
It's about helping women regain confidence.
It's about creating beauty.
It's about giving people a place where they can relax, laugh, and feel cared for.
Even after everything I've experienced, I still believe my calling is to make beautiful things from broken places.
That hasn't changed.
How You Can Help
If you're able to donate—whether it's $5, $25, or $500—every contribution brings us one step closer to rebuilding our future.
If you aren't able to give financially, sharing this campaign with your friends, family, church, or social media would mean just as much.
If you're hiring, know of employment opportunities, or can connect me with a reputable pro bono attorney, I would also be deeply grateful.
My Promise
I promise every dollar will be invested into creating a safe, professional workspace where I can continue doing what I love while providing for my children.
I still believe God has a purpose for my life.
The Book of Job reminds us that restoration is possible even after unimaginable hardship. My faith has carried me this far, and I believe this is not the end of my story.
Thank you for taking the time to read my journey.
Thank you for believing in second chances.
And thank you for helping my family rebuild with hope, dignity, and faith.
With love and gratitude,
Ashley Wilson
Owner, Lashpros
