"Please help!"

Many of you received an email from me regarding a very important issue that came to our attention this week. It is in regards to roof crush in vehicles. The roof of the 2001 Ford Explorer Jess was hurt in crushed! It crushed down on my beautiful son's head at a speed of 12 miles an hour. We are living with the nightmare of that fact every moment of every day.

There is a lady by the name of Paula Lawler who started a non-profit organization. Please click on People Safe in Rollovers! She has a video of her address given at the Emergency World Summit on Roof Crush in Washington D.C. in July on this website. Please, in honor of Jess, listen to this video. Read her articles and educate yourself and tell everyone you know. None of us are safe in American made cars. Who will be next?
The manufacturers know we are in danger and they choose to ignore it. She needs petitions signed to take to Congress by the 27th. Help us stop putting the people we love in jeopardy!

I have prayed for an avenue to help me alert the public of this issue and I finally found it. Will you help us? Joey has put the petition under Downloads on the right side of this website. Print it and get as many signatures as you can. We are also working on purchasing a billboard in Jess's honor to be placed in Boise. There is a flyer explaining how People Safe in Rollover's has partnered with a billboard company to get this message across the world. If you want to donate to the cause there is information on People Safe in Rollovers.

During the time I had shut down this website we were going through a very emotional lawsuit against Ford. It took over two years to get to the court room. We wanted desparately to make Ford admit responsibility for the roof caving in on Jess. We could not get across to the jury or judge the facts that Paula states on her website. We lost our lawsuit against Ford but we have not lost the battle to help right a wrong. We need your help!
