Helping a Local Woman Reunite with her Daughter
“I have my boys…my heart is having my daughter with us.” These are the words of a Temecula resident who cannot be named because of on-going custody battle. After six years of fighting to reunite with her now 13 year old daughter, this mother is asking for help from the community. Her goal is to raise enough funds to get back East and finish this on going court battle to reunite with her family. As stated, since this case is currently open and involves a minor child, no names will be told, just the story.
Six years ago, this now local Temecula resident came to California with custody of her daughter. When her daughter went back for a visit (per her custody agreement) her father decided to try and keep her back East. Because of financial reasons, the mother could not make it back east to a court date regarding placement, and thus lost custody in a default judgment. When the woman asked the court for a telephonic court date (her appearing via phone form California) her request was denied. Since then her only means of keeping in contact with her daughter are through phone calls and emails.
When local non-profit organization Temecula Valley People Helping People and founder Denny Mighell heard the story they decided to step in and help. Their goal is to help the woman raise funds to reunite with her daughter. This local single mother works two jobs, raises her sons, and pays child support to the father of her daughter. Under these circumstances the woman is struggling and in need of community support. Temecula Valley People Helping People is doing a fundraiser to help and is asking that the community donate. This can be done by PayPal at www.tvphp or you can call Denny Mighell at 951-757-5212 or send a check to 40130 Holden Circle, Temecula CA, 92591, your help would make a huge difference in this case and is appreciated.
An upcoming event (date pending) will have Tim Nash, Treasurer of TVPHP, a phone executive at Southern California Telephone Company, and 1/3 of Team USA, do all the heavy lifting for the fundraiser. Nash will lift for one hour and asks that people pledge whatever they can per pound lifted. This event will benefit the local woman in reuniting with her daughter. More information is available at www.tvphp.org.

As grandma to a six-year-old boy named Gavin, I was especially touched first by John Hunneman's column about Aiden, and then his photo brought tears to my eyes. Gavin's hair is also blonde but not so light as Aiden's. Our prayers are with Aiden and his family.

This is a wonderful thing you are offering families like the Inman's. emotionally battling pediatric cancer is hard enough on it's own. Add in the financial cost of that battle and you've really entered a war. Kudos to TVPHP and my best to the Inman's. Stay strong and positive - good things will come.
