Join Us in Celebrating Love
Sometimes the most powerful love stories start quietly during long drives, long-distance weekends, and the stubborn hope that the right person is worth every mile.
Ashley remembers those early days with Jessica so vividly. Their relationship was still new, stretched between cities, stitched together by late-night calls and Friday-evening road trips to Asheville. It was tender and uncertain, but it was real, something Ashley knew she wanted to build a life on.
Twelve years later, that life overflows.
Ashley and Jessica have bought a home together. Built and grown a business. Taken risks. Changed careers. Welcomed three incredible kids into the world.
They’ve built a family grounded in joy, courage, and the kind of everyday commitment that makes our movement so joyful.
But here’s the truth: Relationships like theirs are still shaped — and sometimes strained — by the laws, systems, and political currents in South Carolina. Families like theirs deserve an organization that protects and affirms that their neighbors and state see their love as equal and worth safeguarding.
That’s why AFFA works to change hearts and minds. And, that’s why your generosity matters.
Today, every gift you make will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000 for Giving Tuesday.
Your support ensures that AFFA will continue to advocate for love like Ashley and Jessica's, so that we might live, parent, worship, work, and thrive in a South Carolina without fear.
Will you make a Giving Tuesday donation to AFFA today? Your gift doubles, and your impact does too.
In pride and love,
The AFFA Team
