Our Team
Wenda (Wendy) Criswell is a suicide survivor and founder of What if; Hope. I dedicate this charity to my husband, Chris Criswell and to victims and survivors everywhere.
Ashleigh Collier - I am a Registered Nurse and happily married to Steven, my companion of nearly 22 years, I am a proud mom of Braylon and Brienne. On 12/25/21 I lost my incredible step-father to suicide. What if; Hope is important to me because I can relate to being a survivor, I am passionate about helping others and you are not alone. The sudden, unexpected and horrific reality of suicide is devastating. In the time of your greatest need, let us help you.
Amanda Tubbs - Hi! I'm Amanda and am mother of 2 daughters who are my everything. I was honored when I was asked to be a member of this amazing board. I hope to bring awareness to the importance of mental health. I became a widow after my husband's suicide in February, 2023. The question "What if" is something I've asked myself all too many times. By being a board member, I believe it allows me to continue to have hope and to pass that hope on to those who have been affected by the sudden devastating and unexpected loss of their loved ones.

Deb Ferguson - My life is surrounded with much love from my significant other, my children, grandchildren, family and friends. I am retired from the healthcare and hospitality industries. I am united with Wendy's passion for her foundation. I am honored to embark on this compelling journey and feel that this is my calling. I lost my nephew to suicide in 2022 and also a dear friend many years ago.
The "what if's" are endless... We "hope" to spread awareness throughout the community. We "hope" to advocate for resources. We "hope" to change outcomes and make a difference. We "hope" to offer preventative services, your life is worth living.
