Hi, I'm Ashley Infantino, co-founder and co-host of the day after.

April 8, 2002, is a day that I will never forget; my hero, my role model, my mother, lost her life at the young age of 32 to breast cancer. I was only 9 years old, and her death changed me in ways I never thought possible.

Within months of her loss, I was approached to help a classmate through a similar loss, which has been a pattern throughout my life. I'm honored to create a platform for others to share their stories and navigate grief together.

Ashley was born and raised in Rochester, NY, and currently lives in Delft, Netherlands, with her fiancé, Nate and beloved fur babies, Lady & Molly. You will likely find Ashley at a Buffalo Bills game, traveling the world or eating [Buffalo] wings.

Hi, I'm CJ Infantino, co-founder and co-host of the day after. Ariana was my champion. Three children later and twelve years together, we got the news - Ariana had incurable metastatic breast cancer.

For the next five and a half years, she fought and lived. We traveled the world. We lived thirty years in five. On September 30, 2020, during a worldwide pandemic, she died with her three children and me by her side. We did life together for seventeen years - since high school. During that time, she stood with me in the battle for my mind. In the end, I was able to stand with her in the fight for her life.

I believe we all have "Our Stories." This is only a snippet of mine. But I know I am not alone. I sincerely believe that everyone has a story, a struggle, a battle. It is what makes us all human. It is what connects us. We live in a world of pain and suffering. I want to spend the rest of my life sharing those stories so others know they are not alone.
