I have had the privilege of shooting with Melissa Ashley 3 times. I have also been a longtime fan as well. Another fan has recently shared that Melissa has had a very rough time of it recently with serious illness, injury and depression. She is back at work now and in need of financial support from her fans. I know commercial links are discouraged here, but if the mods will just "looks the other way" on this one, you can go to Melissa site and read the page about what you can do for her.
This IS NOT a hustle, BS, blind link marketing or the like. Melissa really needs the help of her friends and fans right now.
