Seven-year-old Ashley had been praying for a playground for her Washington D.C. neighborhood. When Darell Hammond came to visit, she knew he was the answer to her prayers. “It’s going to take a lot more than imagination,” he said. It would take 100 volunteers and. $40,000 to rid this vacant lot of the drugs, gangs and violence so children would have a safe place to play. This is the story of how Ashley and her friends joined with Darell in rallying support from their parents, local companies and churches to build the first KaBoom! playground – and how they kept each other’s spirit up until their dream came true.
