From Kirstin

Let me extend my deepest appreciation to the ladies and gentleman who've taken an interest in my plight. Each day I grow a little more hopeful of my future because of my various supporters. Thank you all so much.

As far as I can recall I've never had an "easy life" for one reason or another. Sure I've had hopes and dreams like everyone else, but I never really felt they were attainable. Since this all began for me two years ago, my life felt even more grim and meaningless.

However, as the saying goes, "everything happens for a reason" and today that phrase is something I truly believe in. With your help I hope to ensure that people can live each day knowing that justice was truly served--for myself and so many others.

Sincerely,

Kirstin Blaise Lobato
