November Is A Month For Remembering

In November we take time to remember all those who have fought so that we might live in Peace with Freedom. We especially remember all those who have fought in wars for this effort and all who supported their efforts working here in Canada. Let us not forget.




In keeping with the theme of Remembrance I would like to present an idea to remember those loved ones who have died, that we know surely would have wanted to support the efforts to bring Ayn home; to have her with her family who will provide her with the Peace and Freedom that is so rightfully hers and that has been stolen from her.


Here we can write a note in honor of a loved one; perhaps someone whose influence in your life has brought you here to this group, to support Derek and Ayn.

Write your personal Remembrance note in a comment and I will add them to the blog every morning.

Perhaps you would also like to make a donation to Ayn's Freedom Fund in memory of the loved one you write about; it can be any amount and your choice of payment method (see https://www.facebook.com/groups/justiceforayn/doc/160505254022970/ for this information)

We will continue this for the month of November.

In memory of my friend Hugh Hale, who died on Oct. 29, 1992,, who introduced me to “autism” 28 years ago I would like to donate $20.00 to Ayn’s Freedom Fund.............Jean Nicol

In memory of my mother Mary Nicol, who died Dec. 12, 1994 and who I know would have wanted to make this donation of $20.00 to Ayn’s Freedom Fund.................Jean Nicol

$1 A DAY FOR OCTOBER!

Day 121 with 8 donors we will have $ 248 at the end of the month............. we need MORE!

It is going to be very costly to pay for the best legal support and/or expert witnesses, we need to all pitch in to help with this any way we can, even for a small donation. As I write this, with 4 more members we will have 4000! If this many people made a small donation it would be awesome! Imagine if this many people did $1 a day! Even 1/2 of us doing $1 a day for Oct would mean $62000!

We had a great response from a group of 42 people who pledged to save $1 a day for the month. So we were thinking let's try this again for the month of October. Some folks put $1 in a can every day, others had a fundraising activity to raise the money and raised enough to contribute for several months! Or several people could work together on an activity. Be creative. This month it 31 days so that will be $31 contributed by each person.

Some ideas for raising this money might be:

Used book sale Bake sale Used toy sale Talent contest Car wash Concert Dinner Theatre
Guest Speaker Barbeque Raffle (something very popular) Bottle driveAutism support group donation Theater show (theatre donation) Skating Party (arena donation) Tournament (every player pays $1) Lemonade sale Coffee Party Yard Sale Flea Market table Starbuck’s Allowance    
Tim Horton’s Allowance Cost of a pack of cigarettes Contents of your PayPal Account
Some of our Christmas Gift Money Birthday $ Used Toy sale Babysitting for a Friend Having a Raffle Declutter your house, sell items on e-bay

If you can think of other ideas please add them in a comment here or on the group page.

I will start the list of Donors:

1) Jean Nicol
2) Lynda Thexton Willson
3) Mark Willson
4) Michele Nieves
5) Kathy White
6) Sarah Leary
7) Richard Prettie
8) Carolyn Slizys-Scholey

 

Trying times are times for trying.........................

If you are like most of us, making ends meet seems to be an ongoing challenge. So even though you would like to click on the "GIVE" button you just can't. Understood by all.

Maybe you would consider saving what coins you can from now until December 14th. This day will be Ayn's 10th Birthday and some of us have decided we can save til then and donate $10 to Ayn's Freedom Fund as a gift on the 14th. Comment here or leave a message for me on the facebook group page if you would like to join us. It is true $10 doesn't go very far today, although it may be hard to spare, but this way $1 a week maybe we can do. (so in 11 weeks if 1000 people donated $10 each that would certainly help a fund that may help pay hefty legal fees.)

Maybe there is something else you can do to raise some funds to donate. Here are a few ideas that you and your family, friends or neighbors might consider. Please feel free to comment sharing other fundraising ideas.

Thanks everyone............ to quote someone I heard this morning

 "just because you can't do everything,

doesn't mean that you can't do something".

If we all do a little something to help would be awesome!

WHY DID IT HAPPEN and WILL IT CONTINUE

She was abducted by CPS because she has autism and they felt she was a burden to her family. They thought her dad must have been overwhelmed having 3 children to care for, two who have autism.

Many parents can relate to this, that is having 3 or more children with more than 1 having autism. Do they have to fear a CPS custody battle? Who knows, perhaps so, if this practice is not stopped now!

Would I be correct in saying many parents who have only 1 child with autism can relate to be overwhelmed by times as a parent? Is this true for parents who do not have children with autism? I believe so. Should all parents then be wary of CPS deciding they need to take their child into custody?

Do you think if your child was being forcibly removed from their school classroom by strangers (no parent in sight) that they might be resistant and create a struggle? Why wouldn't they? Do we not teach our children to never go with strangers?

How would you then feel about your child then being given a cocktail of drugs by her abductors, we assume so your child could be sedated and kept calm? Oh and this would be drugs not recommended for children that had these side effects https://www.facebook.com/groups/justiceforayn/doc/185727251500770/ .

Could this be your child?

She is innocent of any crime and so are her parents. She has been in custody for 91 days without being able to plea her case for her freedom and rights as agreed to by Canada in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Do what you can today to help this little girl and her family and continue efforts to ensure no other children and families suffer as she has. Read other blog posts here. Read some of the documents listed in the "Links" on this site. Decide today what YOU can commit to do. It is said that it takes a community to raise a child. We live in a global community today and this is a global issue.

A Child's Request For Freedom

This little boy signs his letter to the government “Love Musclecast” .  He is begging the government of British Columbia, Canada to “not keep this poor nine year old girl named Ayn” and he is asking this with “love”.  The innocence of a child will never cease to amaze!

Interesting that he begins his letter with the question “Do you know what you need to do Government?” and then says, “That’s right!!” Does this not imply that even this young boy assumes that the government knows what they need to do? Yes, surely they know what they have done is wrong and they can’t fool a child either.

After telling them “......you should know better....” he even gives them the solution to the problem “Now change!”

Many of us have been trying to tell those responsible that we realize what they have done, abducting Ayn, is wrong and they need to take her home. I wonder, will they listen to this young man begging for Ayn? Will he amaze them? He is only asking that Ayn be granted what is rightfully hers,  her freedom. And he is asking with "Love".

$1 a Day for Ayn's Freedom Fund

NOTE: Sept 19 There are now 42 members of the $1 a Day Doners who will donate $1 a day to Ayn's Freedom Fund for the remainder of the month of September. This will mean a donation of $862 at the end of the month! Way to go! 12 more donors @ $12 each would bring our total to $1000 for Sept.

It is becoming increasingly more important for us to support Derek Hoare in his tireless efforts to ensure his daughter Ayn will soon again enjoy her freedom and be living at home with him and her brothers. To accomplish this many of us are trying to think of ways to raise funds for Ayn to continue to make sure they have the best legal support.

In this effort we have started a group who will save $1 a day for the rest of this month to see how much we can add to this fund. For many of us, one dollar a day will be a painless effort, for others it will mean great sacrifice. One advantage of doing this is that it becomes a daily effort to keep us focused on what we can do to help. If we actually put $1 in a container every day, Ayn and her family will be in our thoughts every day as we do this.

Every little bit counts, every dollar adds up, every positive thought ("here's a contribution to Ayn's freedom) can be powerful. Multiply that by many for AWESOME results!

When I signed off facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/justiceforayn/?id=188648971208598&notif_t=group_activity last night there were 2 of us committed to $1 a day until the end of September. When I signed on this morning we were now a group of 12! That means an additional $252 going into Ayn's Freedom Fund on October 1, only 20 days away.

How Can I Help Ayn Be Free?

I feel rather helpless as I wish there was something constructive I could do to help Ayn and her family. How in this wonderful country of ours, Canada, can so many smart, creative, caring and industrious people feel so helpless to save a little girl? How can our government continue to hold her captive, drugged into submission?

There is one thing we can all do and that is donate money so that Ayn's dad, Derek Hoare can hire the very best lawyer to help give Ayn back her freedom. For many of us this is easier said than done these days in rough economic times but hopefully we will find ways to raise some funds.

I have an invention that I created to support a little boy with autism and it has helped many children and families in the past 4 years. It is helping kids with autism and kids who are not autistic so that they will be eating a healthier diet ~ it is working too. You can read testimonials from parents, teachers, a child psychiatrist who specializes in autism, an OT, a psychologist and many more at http://www.theeatinggame.ca/testimonials/newsletter.asp?article=18 .

You can see pictures of The Eating Game components and read how they work at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150096883195390.307264.117743845389

For the month of September I will donate $15 to Ayn's Freedom Fund for every Make It Yourself (MIY) Kit that is ordered for shipment in Canada and the USA. You can order your kit at http://www.theeatinggame.ca/shopping_cart.htm .

Give your child, grandchild, niece, nephew, friend a gift that will keep on giving every day. Give them a game they say is fun and where they are winners every day.  Buy one for your community support group to loan to families to try before they get their own. Buy one for your local Children's Hospital feeding clinic or your favorite OT. Buy one for your local school.

At the same time you will be giving a second gift of $15 to Ayn's Freedom Fund. Only 25 days left to place your order.
