Supporting Shakira

With a heavy heart, I ask for your support for our dear friend and colleague Shakira Vincent.  On Saturday, March 11, 2017, Shakira unexpectedly lost the love her life, William Lesane. 

As many of you know, Shakira and Will were excitedly preparing for the upcoming birth of their son in early summer.  As you can imagine, the family is grieving right now, and the last thing we want Shakira to worry about is finances during the remaining months of her pregnancy and the early weeks with her newborn baby. 

Shakira has a huge heart and is always the first to help anyone who needs assistance.  Please consider supporting her during this time of need.  We are grateful for any contribution you are willing to provide.

I give you this one thought to keep.

I am with you still. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on the snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning’s hush,

I am the swift, uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not think of me as gone.

I am with you still in each new dawn.
