Update...Zachary's Benefit...


Hello guys. I hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July. Likewise for us as well. We had the traditional 4th...BBQ, TV, conversation, and fireworks. FUN, FUN!!




Today I am updating all of you on Zachary's benefit that is located at the Rapides Parish Coliseum. First of all, I want to tell all of you that we have a new promoter. His name is Stephen Cristoforo of Echo 1 Productions. Stephen has over 15 years experience in the music business and concert promotions. I learned about Stephen through my friend Markus Allen Christopher, the lead singer for Miss Crazy. Since our first discussion, Stephen has taken the reigns and moved with as much drive as me to make this concert the biggest and the best, not to mention a reality for Zachary and I. In the past weeks, Stephen has covered more ground with the preparations of the benefit than anyone ever has. For this, I am thankful and I can put my strengths in writing to all of you and continuing my life as a full time mother and home nurse for Zachary.




Zachary is well, as far as I know...he's with his dad until Sunday. Over the past several weeks, Zachary has been pretty hard to handle. He has experienced many seizures and violent spells that have lasted several hours. When these spells occur, Zachary can be pretty hard to restrain; but I have the determination to do so to protect him from himself and others. Zachary's worst enemy is himself and with that, destruction can follow. Everyday he continues to fight the demons inside him and I am always there by his side helping him win the battle no matter how long. Zachary will never give up the fight because I won't let him.




The benefit Stephen and I are organizing for Zachary will be a success, I feel. All the proceeds will go to Zachary's care and medical bills and anything he may need. I am content now that Stephen has taken the wheel regarding the benefit organization. I can go back to being just Kristen: loving mother and caregiver....no longer Kristen: the businesswoman/promoter/spokesperson. I can just be me and love my kids in the process.




If any of you guys want to help with the organization of Zachary's benefit, please don't contact me...contact Stephen Cristoforo. His email address is echo1productions@aol.com... He will be glad to hear from all of you, as well as your ideas for the Zachary's benefit. I would also be honored to have any of you, my family, to help with this event in honor of Zachary, the most cherished gift God ever gave me.....



Love to you all.....
