Stand For Truth FUNdraiser Success Story!
A massive THANK YOU to all who attended the Spring Carnival FUNdraiser, whether you were helping out with event, participating in some of the fun activities or just to show your support! THANK YOU!
A total of $6510 was raised to help David & Collet with the legal costs! That is fantastic! No, that is beyond fantastic! With the money you so generously gave, they have been able to pay the retainer necessary to get started with their lawyers. Thank you again!
Without a doubt, a great time was had by all! It was evident on the faces of the children running from bouncy castle to boot camp, to painted faces and cotton candy kissed smiles! It was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon, regardless of your age!
A HUGE thank you to those of you who donated items for the silent auction and food items - all of which were delicious! And most of all, thank you to those of you who gave of your time and energy. The FUNdraiser wouldn't have been the success it was without you!
The next thing coming up is the Court Hearing on the 23rd of May. David & Collet need your prayers, well wishes and positive thoughts regarding this event. Please keep them on your mind and in your heart. If you haven't written your letter of support, please do so! Your letter can be sent directly to David & Collet via post to:

Enough gratitude can not be expressed for all of your support. David & Collet just yesterday marked the 13th month since Ezekiel's passing. The loss they deal with on a daily basis is unfathomable for most of us - either as a parent or not. Those of us who know David & Collet personally share in their sorrow. Not only for the loss of little Ezekiel, but also for the nightmare they are forced to deal with due to the outrageous charges.
Check out the photos from the event below. Oh & the photo booth was a lot of fun! Check out some of the silly faces created!
