A Touch of Drama - - Save a Performance Program

Hi, my name is Alyson. My cousin, Heidi, started a performance program in Florida for children of all abilities. The program has blossomed and allowed youth to perform in theater events, participate in summer camps, act, sing, dance, learn about the tech involved with performances, and express themselves in a variety of ways. Children that are challenged in some way have been given opportunities that once seemed impossible. Shy children have come out of their shells. The program has come so far and Heidi was working to rent space so it could grow even more; however, her account was compromised and the bank refuses to refund the money she was saving to use for the rental space (security deposit, etc.) Her expansion plans are on hold so necessities such as rent; insurance; equipment; and associated fees can be paid. The bank claims it was not an event that falls under fraud protection. All of the money she saved so she could continue the program is gone; as a result, the program may need to be discontinued. This would be devastating to Heidi and to the children that have thrived with this program. Please, help save this performance program so these youth of all abilities can continue to thrive. Thank you.
