Celebrate Ashley’s Life & Support her daughter Kelliyah
With deep sadness and full hearts, we come together to honor the life of Ashley, a phenomenal mother, wife, sister, daughter, aunt, friend, advocate, and radiant light to everyone blessed enough to know her.
Her passing has left an unimaginable void, but her spirit — fierce, joyful, and overflowing with love will never leave us. Despite Ashley’s battles with ill health, she was very positive in her outlook, and she worked with our PR Manager Ronke to promote her story on a few News networks. Despite her need for a kidney, Ashley remained positive and even having jokes with us along the way.
She leaves behind her precious daughter, Kelliyah, her pride, her purpose, her everything. Ashley fought every day to give Kelliyah a future. Now her family are raising funds, not only to honour the life of Ashley but to support Kelliyah as she begins life without her mother’s physical presence but never without her love.

Ashley De La Mode's Kidney Appeal
Ashley De La Mode said:
“I was told I had kidney failure when I was 23, during my pregnancy. The maternity specialists thought that perhaps the baby was the cause of my kidney failure until they discovered that I could have been born with the condition. It was also discovered that I had just 23% of kidney function.”
“Fast forward to 2018 and I am now 38 years of age and only have 5% kidney function.”

“I am desperately campaigning for a deceased or living kidney donation as I would love to avoid being on dialysis. I have been going to the Royal Free Hospital in North West London for 15 years receiving treatments for this condition which is life threatening. Currently I also have other problems due to the condition. My bones ache and I am constantly very tired which makes my everyday life a lot more complicated. However I still manage to do as much as I can no matter how I may physically or emotionally feel.”
“Although I understand that we will all die someday, I would love to still live an abundant life where I can see my daughter grow up. I am still very much full of life and I would love the opportunity to be able to experience life with a healthy kidney. I fear living on dialysis for the rest of my life as I know that it is not a normal designed way to stay alive.”
