Introducing a hero of mine

Quickly approaching 4 years of The Stop The Violence Movement, I have to say I am one of the most blessed people on the planet. The STOP THE VIOLENCE MOVEMENT has not become what it is today because of anything whatsoever I have done, but it has become what it is today because of people such as my little friend Salem. I write this with tears in my eyes, because this is what I have dreamed about for 4 years. People of all ages, backgrounds, races, beliefs, coming together to join the efforts of THE STOP THE VIOLENCE MOVEMENT.

Please read what Salem is doing to Stop The Violence. Thanks Salem, you are truly one of my heroes!

Salem Bakes For Stop The Violence 2011

by Salem Holamon - Run to Stop Violence on Wednesday, August 10, 2011 at 5:22pm

You may remember that last year Salem chose to run 2 miles to help raise money for Stop the Violence. Because of the extreme heat in Abilene this summer we decided to not have Salem train to run her 2 miles to raise money for Stop the Violence. But our Salem was determined So she decided to bake! Seriously bake! She’ll bake any of the following for any donation. And if you do not want the baked goods she’ll still bake and give the baked goods to a homeless person. What a double treat – she raises money to help Stop The Violence & blesses the homeless. We’re so proud of our girl. Please consider supporting her. She will be baking and delivering the week before the Stop The Violence event on August 27th. Last year she ended up raising almost $700. Help her meet this goal! Please feel free to message or email her mom this information and she will get it on her list. You can mail a check to Leah Holamon – 1841 N 3rd Street with checks made payable to The Mission. Please send the checks to us so we know how much to bake – even if you want to donate the baked items to the homeless. Or you can paypal her mother at lholamon@suddenlink.net.

About Salem: She will be 9 on October 1st. She is a surviving triplet and has Noonan Syndrome & a heart condition called Hypertropic Cardiomyopathy. The very fact that she is here is a miracle. Now she is an active child who likes to run and play and do everything every other kiddo does. We're very thankful to her doctors and her beta blocker for diagnosing her and keeping her healthy. She also is beautifully compassionate and understands things way beyond her years. Her biggest response when asking questions about why were helping with the Stop The Violence event last year was - "if all they need is money to help people, let’s give money." Don't you just love the faith and compassion of a child?
