A Few words of Appreciation for Marc

I just wanted to say a few words of appreciation for Marc. What you have dedicated your life, your time, your money, and most importantly your heart in doing is truly an act of selflessness. To ensure that children all across this nation are brought home(even those tragically that are no longer with us)yet still ensuring that their precious families that are left behind atleast are brought closure enabling them to start the very long, very difficult healing process. But out of all of these children that you have helped throughout these years its the ones that do not necessarily have a loving, stable, or supportive family that I see as being the most challenging,the most tragic, but yet the most rewarding in that in their short&tragic lifetimes that you a complete stranger, with no ulterior motives, no seeking of the public glory but rather just a once broken man himself seeing that these children did not die in vain, were not left buried as if trash but rather making their lives count for something. Though many were not blessed with a loving family as your Polly was[and you in turn blessed with having your loving daughter if even that her precious life was indeed cut way too short here on this earth] Her spirit lives on, her spirit lives on thru you, Marc and that spirit is alive and thriving and will continue to as you continue dedicating your life to help these precious, innocent children that are unable to help themselves. You have given these children a voice and not only a voice but you keep their faces and names out there again ensuring that justice is served in their innocent behalfs.

I know that by choosing to selflessly give of yourself on a daily basis giving these otherwise faceless and nameless Missing Children a name&a face to go with that name and do all that you can to rescue and bring home them all one by one, day by day that little by little you continue to heal from your own personal tragedy of losing your precious Polly. Though you will never heal completely nor will a day of your life pass without precious memories of your Polly, but my feeling is that the very real, raw pain and anguish that only a parent such as yourself can ever imagine is the very real and raw emotion with which you continue to fight the fight for the innocent children. Admiring you just doesn't even seem to capture the description of what deep and true respect that so many of us have for you.

I just wanted to say a very personal thank you to you, Marc. And though as I said I have never met nor had any personal experience of the wonderful&dedicated work of which you do, but nonetheless I want you to understand and know what profound appreciation and awe that many of us have for you, your hard work and your dedication. You, Marc are one in a million and continue as you have, turning what is every parents worst, unshakeable, unwakeable of nightmares that any of us could ever imagine, continue bringing honor to precious Polly's memory and by sheer work and determination being the voice for the babies and children that otherwise would never be heard if it weren't for you..

Thank you for allowing us to be a very small part of the many years of hard work for these innocent children for whom you continue to fight for.. I am honored to help in any way possible.
 
Way to go WS!!! :)

How wonderful we met this goal and kept on giving!
 
To Marc, Violet and Tricia,

Wanted to give you a very sincere and heartfelt thank you for all that you do on behalf of our missing children, young and old. My husband and I appreciate those who fight in the trenches such as you do, THANK YOU!!! Also wanted to thank you for letting us know about this opportunity to donate AND stand alongside you in your good work.

It feels EXHILIRATING to partner with all of you and the other wonderful giving people at WS :)
 
Just donated $25 -- even though the goal was met. The work that Marc and his organization does is profoundly important and I am happy to do my part to support him.
 
Smoothoperator I have sent your post to Marc personally. I know he will appreciate it.

Marc has sent a very sweet thank you note. I have to run now but I will be putting it up as soon as I get back.

Like Wrinkles and others have said I am so grateful to be included in such a great group of people.

Love,
Tricia
 
BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP!

Hey ya'll... I believe that Tricia will be posting the final drum roll number fairly soon BUT let's don't let Marc and her relax yet! We can make the two of them have to do another tally of an even higher number IF we keep tossing our dollars to this.

YA'LLS -- IF anyone has missed out on the blessing of giving to this so far, hop on board with the rest of us ASAP and put some icing on the goal cake!

LET'S TIE THIS UP WITH A BIG BANG!
 
I am sitting here shaking my head because somehow I just got roped into taking a truck full of teenagers to a haunted house (It's Friday the 13th after all) so let's wait until I get home tonight from this little adventure to post the final tally. This will give us a little more time.

I will tell you that because of the HUGE generosity of a wife and husband on Websleuths KlaasKids went over their goal in the money. Because of this now when a new team signs up the child they are assigned will get their 1000 fliers to be posted and handed out all over the U.S. More on this when we post the final tally.

Please understand if you still give 5 dollars it will be put to an absolute fantastic use. KlaasKids rarely gets donations so if you feel the spirit 5 bucks or more know that you will truly be helping all these kids.

Marc wasn't able to protect Polly. In fact Polly's big fear was the "boogeyman" coming to get her. If I remember the story correctly Marc told Polly the boogeyman is make believe and she would be just fine.

In Polly's case the boogeyman was real. Marc has often said if that the simple act of locking Polly's bedroom window could have saved her. It's that advice, common sense advice, that Marc tells parents about every chance he gets.

He tries to protect our children and rescue the ones who have been taken. KlaasKids is doing for our kids what couldn't be done for Polly.

Thank you. Finally tally later tonight.

Tricia:

I have an idea/proposition. I've been scanning that Fireball Run website with my husband who races sidecar motorcycles. He's interested. We need to make some adjustments to the sidecar to make it street legal as he races closed-circuit track, but we are VERY interested in making this Fireball Run next year. My thought is, we could have the bike plastered with Websleuths all over it, change the paint job and all. As of now, it's a race bike for racetracks. It says on the Fireball website that sidecars are legal, just none are there. We need to talk to Marc or whomever is in charge to get an idea of how to arrange changing the motorcycle to make it street legal to enter the Fireball Run for 2011. The potential of raising money for Marc and being a Websleuths sponsor is enormous, with bringing awareness to missing children with a new racing vehicle: The sidecar.

My husband won the Sidecar Racing Association - Northwest championship last year, and raisincharlie knows allll about it. :) They aren't amateurs, and in fact the passenger is a fireman.

This has put a fire under my husband. He's not a WS'er, but he appreciates what I spend my time doing, and what a fabulous way to get them BOTH involved.

May you have a way to get a hold of Marc or whomever is involved with the event to discuss exactly what would entail having a sidecar race next year? I thank you BUNCHES. My husband and I are both excited!!!

(see attached photo of hubby on sidecar)
