In 2013, James Sweasy met his wife, Alaina, in a Louisville, Kentucky homeless shelter and recovery program, where they spent a year rebuilding their lives. Believing they couldn’t have children, they were overjoyed when their daughter Ashlynn Jae Sweasy was born on July 27, 2014. Soon after, Alaina became pregnant again, and Avery Grace Sweasy was born on August 2, 2015. Today, James and Alaina live in Louisville with their two daughters, running their businesses, traveling, and cherishing parenthood.
