I'm not sure how many of you have heard bout this on the news, but its by far the most heart wrenching story i ever heard this close to home. We had no choice but do something to help.
" On Nov 18 2012 two families lives have changed forever. The Williams family from New Boston, MI were on their first family vacation in over 10 years. Because of economic times and loss of jobs, this is the first vacation the family could take in years. A family friend, Shannon Henry 18, was also along for trip after saving all summer to be able to go. While on there way to Flordia to board the cruise ship, 1 persons life changing decision to drive drunk, ruined many life's forever. This families SUV was hit head on, on a local South Carolina freeway causing the SUV to flip several times. The rollover caused the son, Jimmy Williams 16 to be thrown from the truck and killed in front of his entire family. The accident also caused long time family friend, Shannon to break her neck and back and she is now partial paralyzed from the neck down. This family has no medical insurance and to make things worse, the parents of Shannon have no insurance either "
These families lives are changed forever. With the deep sadness this has brought to them and all they are dealing with, money issues are the last thing that should be on their mind. After speaking with my Sister, who works with one of the families close friends, I could not just listen to this story and do nothing. While I sat there and listened, it made my health issues I encountered in 2011 and 2012 as well as the loss of my Grandfather, seem so minor to what these people will and are dealing with. Myself and my family have decided to put things we may want, on the back burner for now and use any money we can afford to help these families. We have put together a Spaghetti dinner fund raiser to help these two families. This will take place on Jan 19th at 7 pm at Joy manor at Middelbelt and Joy rd in the city of Livonia. There will be live entertainment along with very nice raffle prizes. Cost of entire is 20 per person and all proceeds will go direct to each family. As myself, wife, mom and dad will be accruing all the costs of this event, we are hoping anyone that can come,will. We are also looking for sponsors. We appreciate anything any one can do to help, this is such a tragic event and very difficult, sad time for these families and their loved ones.
There is also accounts set up for each family at Public service credit union - 7665 Merriman rd, Romulus, MI.
Thanks Motown
