Ashley Chaney of Wills Point stands with her daughter, Madison, 10.

“CPS changed my life”

Ashley Chaney said her life changed forever the day that Child Protective Services came into her home and removed her 8-year old daughter almost two years ago.

Chaney had been in an abusive relationship involving drugs when CPS was called leading to Chaney recognizing the fact that her life needed to change for the better.

“My life was very unmanageable when CPS became involved in my life,” recalled Chaney. “Having CPS involved changed my life. I thought CPS were bad people in my eyes at first but honestly, they saved my life and were a blessing in disguise. I thank CPS, CASA  and my support system including my family and friends.”

Chaney was born in Tyler and grew up in Wills Point where she attended school. She is a 2000 graduate of Wills Point High School.

“I lived in Garland, Lindale and Lake Dallas before moving back to Wills Point. I always knew I would come back, said Chaney.
