HELP IN ANYWAY...

This is a repost from Sana's blog.. I know Queenie personally because she is my friend. What they went through is not fair. I am reposting this in the hope that some US readers of this post can help them, in anyway...

The incident happened a long time ago--- May 25, 2006 but until now, the Velasco family still needs help to clear out their names. Right now they can't find decent jobs because of the case they were NEVER convicted with prior to the pediatrician's findings. Allan and Queenie Velasco were arrested and charged with child neglect for not seeking immediate attention for their child's minor injury. Queenie was arrested at the hospital where they took Carmela, their child, and Allan was dragged out of their Jersey City home with the full view of the neighbors - dragged out and cuffed without a chance to wear shoes or jacket, and wasn't given a chance to get his cellphone or wallet.

Read the full story here - a scanned newspaper article of their story: (click images to enlarge)



Here's pictures of Mela way before the incident:

The family wants to thank the following people:

A HAPPY STAR FOR RIVER

My sister Sweet sent me this picture in my email. According to her, River got a star for being good. Lili was the last one to finish and Teacher Marissa asked River to get a new pencil for Lili so she can finish. After giving the pencil to Lili, River whispered to her that she can do it and that everything will be okay. Then he kissed her...

Teacher Marissa gave River a happy star... River was so happy he showed it to my sisters when he saw them...
