Hillary,
What a remarkable thing you have done! Knowing Vicki,on a personal note,she is just over whemled on the love,assitance,and encouragement everyone has shown her.You have all been her real family.I was really hoping and praying( in my own way)that someone would do this for her.Any little bit helps.For exsample....my children (aged 11&14) are cutting grass all this month(Oct) and shovelling snow in Nov and Dec,and donating all of their money to Vicki,Scott and the girls.Even children this young have a understanding of how wrong the justice system here in Ontario and it let her down.
After explaining Vickis story to my 14 year old son,I would like to share his comment, please keep in mind that my children have never been to church or any kingdom hall in their live........
Mom, why would the people in that hall not help her? That is just wrong? Why did her mom not protect her? I always thought if you went to church or a hall like you did when you were younger that,the higher people in the church were suppose to help you! I dunno mom,if there is a god out there,those people that did that to your friend,they will have to answer to more then the big bosses at that stupid watchtower.They should of called the watchtower The Tumbling Tower. Im so glad you never made me go to that church.I think we should help Vicki and her family. Im going to ask Tyler (his brother) if he wants to give our money to them. She needs it more then we do right now.I want her little girls to have a Christmas this year.
As I walked away with tears in my eyes,how can a 14 year old boy,know that this was WRONG, and a bunch of elders and judge,not know what they did was wrong?It just baffles my mind. Yes I relise that he seen me upset with this whole thing and tryed to comfort me,but my point being ,CHILDREN ARE SPECIAL! We are suppose to protect them and not let them be taken forgrantted.Vicki had her child life ripped from her,and I we cant give it back to her but,we can try to give her some releif and maybe some of her dignity back. Please give with your heart! Thank-you again Hillary,
Yours Truly,
