Hello all,

**update, this is the first time I have ever used gofundme before, as we have went through the last week, I am beyond grateful to everyone who has taken time to read my girls story and to help us as you have. Times are rough for everyone right now and the fact there have been some willing to help means a lot. Thank you everyone!! But due to a lot of negative and issues that have arisen after creating this, I haven’t shared this much if at all in the last few days. It’s not about my issues with anyone. This isn’t about what I need. This is was just to try to add a little bit of light for these girls coming into the holidays. Even if we didn’t raise a penny, the love and support is beyond amazing and we are grateful. Thank you.

My name is Rebecca Fanton. I would like to take a moment to share about the Beckhorn girls. Over the last year and a half myself among others have been trying our best to get justice for 3 girls out of Allegany county NY that have been through more than most adults. They have lost their relationships with both of their parents due to drugs and where placed in foster care with people who promised they were going to give them a family and would raise all 3 of the girls as their own. They even talked about adopting them. 2 years later, after being tired of being quite all 3 girls came out about sexual abuse they endured while living in the foster home. My mother, Lisa Fanton and myself along with an army of adopted family, has done our best to provide for these girls to give them the life, the justice and the peace they deserve. Upon over year and a half of fighting in court, the person who abused them has not only used the money that belonged to them from the state to start a business but to pay for the accused legal team, has gotten a slap on the wrist for what they did. The middle child, was the one who endured the most, this whole thing has left her a shell of herself. She has severe eating disorders due to how she sees herself, all three have serious anxiety and depression. The oldest has become so strong and independent. The middle has found her voice and is so independent and spicy after finding her voice. The youngest is trying to find herself and grow into her own beautiful soul. There has been times that they wanted to die because of the pain they have endured. Before we took these girls in, I had been in their lives due to their mom being a very close friend. If you where to ask me, these are my girls. But as we have went through this process we have had a lot of blows. I was out of work for a year trying to help get them stable and help Lisa because their whole lives has been destroyed again. we haven’t gotten any help from the county aside from food assistance. Now, Lisa who has spent 30 plus years as an LPN taking care of the elderly, she is currently in the hospital and will be out of work permanently. I am asking for help to provide these girls with Christmas season, help keep their utilities on, to help with their housing, and to be able to assist with new clothing and essentials. I have done everything I can to help an I will continue to bust my rear for them but I am also a single mom taking care of the girls and my son while Lisa is getting better and she will still help when she comes home. I know times are rough for many now, which is why I haven’t made one of these sooner. Now, as the holidays and cold weather approach, I am asking for help to give these beautiful girls support, a happy and loving holiday season and successfully without stress help them work through the trauma that threatened to break them and give them some happiness to lift them through this time that has been so cold and dark to them. If you are able to help that is great and the girls thank you from the bottom of their hearts. But if you can’t, we and they completely understand and hope your situation gets better too because this world is becoming so cold. Thank you for your time and we hope you have nothing but the best rest of the year!!!!
