Ashley Iverson lost her husband, Cory, a fire apparatus engineer for Cal Fire, as he battled the Thomas Fires in Ventura County, California, in 2017. In the wake of her young family’s incomprehensible loss, Ashley founded the Iverson Foundation for Active Awareness in an effort to offer mental health support to the first responders who endure so much for our collective safety.
In an interview with The Epoch Times, Ashley, a mother of two, shared her story and the birth of the foundation that keeps her husband’s legacy alive.
