I wish I could say that all of what my family and I are experiencing is a bad dream, but it's not. Nothing can change the path we are walking, but I believe in miracles and kindness and grace that must surround my girls (and myself, honestly). I have cut back on every expense that I can, and with our oldest living with her dad this school year, most likely, that leaves our little one without her sister and her mother. That being said, it is so important that I keep her in her activities that she is used to with the friends and teachers she had come to love.

Taekwondo is $180/mo (she trains 3 days a week), and gymnastics that she will be starting is $108/mo with her training once a week. That is about $3500/yr. I am setting a goal of $4000 to help offset uniform and transportation and performance/weapon fees.

This fundraiser is just to cover Addy's activities for the year. This doesn't take into consideration clothing, food, haircuts, her birthday, or Christmas. If you'd prefer, feel free to reach out to Innovate Martial Arts in Jackson and ask to pay for Addy's tuition directly with any amount that you can do. However, this is the most direct way to help that way I can pay them directly without involving too many 3rd parties.

if you are unable to help financially, that is totally understandable. We then ask for your prayers of strength, wisdom, mercy and miracles as we navigate this new path and the gigantic weight that we all will be carrying. Thank you so much for loving on ALL our family members and helping to relieve some of the stress and dry some of the tears. I continue to stand by my wife and my daughters as I believe in grace and forgiveness and I believe that is what Jesus would do. Additionally, my mother taught me that God is good all the time, even when it doesn’t feel that way. I believe there is a bigger picture being painted by His hand, and I know my family and I will come out stronger on the other side. Allison is doing ok. She is receiving the mental help she has desperately needed all of her life but was denied by her family. We pray for mercy and a judicial response that takes into account her traumatic past, the true story behind what happened (don’t believe the media!!) and the good that she has brought to the world over the course of her life. Thank you for all your prayers and generosity. God bless. - Eric.
