Sharis and Shawndya's Debutante Dream

PLEASE HELP!

Hello friends, family, and supporters. My name is Sharis Walthour. I am the daughter of Jacob Walthour and Judge ShawnDya Simpson. My parents always expected their children to help others. My mom would say, "To whom much is given, much is required." I have elected to honor my family tradition by becoming an Essex County Links debutante and raising funds to support SAT prep classes for kids without the means to afford them.

My mom always dreamed of me and my sisters becoming debutantes. Shariah was Emerald Princess in 2011. She was so excited for me to come of age and help me select a dress, attend planned activities, and help me raise funds to be crowned Emerald Princess. As you all know, my mom is suffering from advanced stages of Alzheimer's and cannot help me. However, the wonderful community of women from the Divine Nine, Jack and Jill, and The Links have been my village and supported me through this process.

I plan to become the Emerald Princess and have my mom in the audience. In order to do so, I will need your financial support. I would be honored if you would consider making a contribution and helping me help others in financial need. I will be forever grateful!
