My organization VOGV (Victims of Gun Violence) was founded in 2003 after the tragic death of my oldest son.  He was murdered by multiple gun shot wounds and unto this day, no one has been held accountable for his death.  He left five children and unfortunately no insurance policy.  VOGV is designed to aid families with grief issues and some financial support towards funerals and homegoing services.  I wrote a book and had it published to try and help his children and our family in general.  However, because of a lack of funds, I cannot get the book sales generated properly.  I only sold a few here and there.  I work in retail and only get a few hours a day, a few days a week.  I am struggling because of my age and it is hard to get hired in high paying jobs.  I am the string that holds my family together since my son's death and with a little help from the right someone, I could make money on my book sales and donations to the Memorial Fund that could help my family.  I have 19 grandchildren alltogether and I can't even afford to buy them dittley on their birthdays and Holidays.  So I am sending out a plea for an angel of finance to please help us so that we can help ourselves.

Dear ELJ: Have you tried to access kinship navigator services in Michigan?

I knew there were people in the world who would love to help other people - I had just not really run into any. SO I am so thrilled that perhaps someone who may read my story may be interested in helping a family to mend one if not more broken bridges. I in turn am willing and would love to help someone else. If you even think I can do something for you, please let me know. Also, if you are wounded or grieving from the lost of a loved one or spiritually wounded, please visit my website www.vogv.bravehost.com and I hope something I say there will ease your pain.
