Selfless Love Foundation
Our Story
As an adoptee, Ashley Brown, Founder and CEO of Selfless Love Foundation, knows firsthand that the greatest way to change a life is through the gift of family. Because the opportunities provided to her were a direct result of being given a second chance at life through adoption, Ashley developed a deep desire to pay her blessing forward.
During their engagement, Ed and Ashley decided to start their family by founding an organization that would allow others to have a family as well. In 2015, Selfless Love Foundation was born.
