The purpose of this fundraiser is to raise money for the Kerstetter family and help offset the cost of medical bills and travel expenses brought on by the July 11th terrorist bombing in Uganda, Africa.

As you all know Emily and her grandmother Joanne were critically injured in the bombing, and Emily's parents Matt and Jennifer traveled to South Africa to be with them. The entire family has had their lives put on hold.

As with most unexpected and tragic events of this magnitude, the expenses will pile up quickly, and by the time everyone starts to recover from the shock of the initial event, the bills will start showing up in the mail, causing more undue suffering and adding to an already stressful and painful situation. It's an unfortunate fact of life, but I think most of us can say we've been there.

This fundraiser is to help Matt and Jen offset the impact of that future event. No amount is too small. Any amount you can contribute will help stabilize the situation and bring normal life back into their home.

On behalf of the Kerstetter family, thank you so much for your contribution, and God Bless.
