Operation: Share Ashleigh's Heart
Began when Ashleigh Lindsey’s mom was struggling with the
most negative experience any mother could have…the murder of a child and unborn
grandchild. March 21st was Tara Woodlee’s birthday but instead of a
day full of celebration it became a day full of tears and sadness. On March 21st,
2012 was the day Ashleigh called her Mom crying from a bathroom. She had been
burnt in the face with a cigarette by her then finance, Joshua Mahaffey. It was
the day Ashleigh’s nightmare of physical abuse began at the hands of the man
she loved. What was worse for Tara was that Joshua’s birthday was the same day
as Tara’s. How do you share a birthday with the murderer of your child?
In March of 2014, Tara decided that she wanted to turn that Negative into a Positive! She thought of Ashleigh and how full of life and generosity. If anything could overcome evil it was Ashleigh’s heart. She was big on random acts of kindness every day. She didn’t have to think twice about doing them it was just in her nature. So, Tara made a list of the top 20 things she saw her daughter do in kindness and created an event on Facebook. She asked friends and family to join in and Operation: Share Ashleigh’s Heart began. On March 21st, 2014 over 450 people made a commitment to do one act of random kindness in honor of Ashleigh Marie Lindsey. The response was overwhelming. Since….Operation: Share Ashleigh’s heart did so much to heal Tara’s heart since she pledge to do all 20 acts of kindness on the list with in a weeks’ time…She thought….why not make this a yearly event. Better yet, why not make this a blog where ideas can be shared on how to change one person’s day with a single unselfish act. And Ashleigh’s Heart Lives On!!!!!! Archives
