always wanted to start this nonprofit since my daughter was born 7 years ago

other people in their corner.</p>

happen. I would greatly appreciate it if you can purchase tickets and attend.
However, if you cannot attend but would still like to support this cause, all monetary donations are accepted and welcomed!</p>
