A Daughter's Future

Hi everyone, today I just want to talk about my daughter. With the help of my brother Justin, we set up a donation site on a website called "youcaring.com". The plan, or idea, is to ask for help for my daughter. Right now the goal is to reach $2,000 by her 18th birthday, which is October 16, 2015. Krista is almost 17. She is in a new age type of orphanage in Ohio. Just a place for kids who have nowhere to go. I am attaching the pages that my brother just sent to me. My daughter deserves a chance at a future. Krista does not deserve to suffer, or have a bad life or follow in my foot steps because she had such crappy parents. I wasn't ready to be a parent; maybe that's why no one ever told me about my daughter being born until after I was already in prison. I want nothing more than to see her happy, to see her grow up and make a good life for herself. She is desperate for a family, but my side is so far from her. Thank G-d for my sisters who life in Warren, Ohio. They will be meeting Krista soon. Krista is a very smart kid. She is so full of life, so energetic, so full of ideas, full of love. But she has been hurt, and trusting people is very hard for her to do. So foster homes don't tend to work out for her. She is almost 17, and still trying to figure out who she is. None of us knew who we were at 16 and 1/2 years old. I certainly didn't. My daughter has no mother, she has no father. I don't expect pity from anyone; all I ask for is some compassion. Not for me, but for my child. I ended a man's life, but my daughter didn't. She should not bear my suffering or my burdens. She is a child, and all children are innocent. So I ask anyone that can help my child, please do. I would be forever grateful, and I would remain in your debt. And if I could ever do anything to repay your kindness, you only have to ask. I'll leave this short because I have 2 pages attached to it. Please continue to read on. If you can't help Krista personally, maybe you can put it on your Facebook, help us advertise it. My brother Justin is running this entire thing for Krista. Help me spread the word, a child needs help for a better and brighter future. If anyone thinks that they might be able to help in any other kind of way, please contact her social worker; Hannah is an amazing person who has done so much for my little girl. Feel free to contact her, Hannah Martin, at 216-973-0925. I thank everyone for reading, and feel free to contact me with any ideas, thoughts, or questions. Take care and G-d bless. Ciao.
