Below is information regarding our work with youth. I am wondering if you know of any organizations who help with services in regard to the needs that arise with those who have suffered severe abuse. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated.

Hello;

I am writing to you on behalf of Neal and Jesse Eldridge, who were featured in the following Sunday Mail news article (see link below). If you or anyone you know would be interested in helping. Please let me know. It is our hope to be of service not only nationally but internationally as well. We are in need of caring people to help us, help them. As a result of the severe abuse that they were forced to endure, they face many obstacles. The most major and urgent, is the need to receive medical treatment as they begin their road to recovery.

My purpose for helping Neal and Jesse is for them to know that there is something to believe in. That there is hope, and most of all, that people do care. While they were not protected before, I want to make sure that they never feel that way again, and that they know that they are not alone in this life.

If you can help in anyway, please let me know.

Most Sincerely,

Denise Marhoefer Dmarhoefer2@aol.com

If you have any questions or are in need of further information on how you can help, please feel free to contact me. I thank you in advance for your interest, and for your much needed assistance. Any and all contributions for not only their medical costs but for the development of their dream,
