This blog was created for the silent cries that have gone unanswered. Children our most precious gift and undeniably our future. When does discipline become abuse? When does the dagger of words pierce the heart? How many children are left to care for themselves? When the boxcar scenario hits close to home.

The Lardin House Inn
The Lardin house in Masontown Pennsylvania is sponsoring a fundraiser for DVSSP - Domestic Violence Services of South Western Pennsylvania. It is free to the public and will have an auction for the DVSSP, car show, music, entertainment arts and crafts.
Donations will be accepted and can be mailed to

We are in need of vendors so anyone who wants to sell their arts and crafts call to set up a display.
Chinese Auction Items are also in need.
Any and all help is appreciated.
