I’m Ashley Brathwaite, the founder of Redeeming Grace—a Christ-centered community for women healing from the pain of abortion.

At 19 years old, I found myself in a situation I never planned for. I had an abortion, and what followed was years of silently battling depression, PTSD, and shame. I tried to move forward, but I was really just masking the pain.

Everything changed when I joined a Post-Abortion Recovery group. That’s where I finally gave myself permission to heal. Through the support of other women, the truth of God’s Word, and learning to receive His forgiveness, I was finally able to forgive myself too.

That space helped me realize something I had never considered before—I wasn’t alone. There are so many women walking around with the same silent grief I carried. And I knew then that my story wasn’t meant to stay hidden. It was meant to be shared.

That’s why I started Redeeming Grace. To create a space where women could find healing, community, and the courage to step into the freedom that God offers.

Your story doesn’t end in shame. There is redemption. There is grace. And there is still purpose ahead.
