Jia Kennie Blackwell Fund

Hello Friends,

My name is Laura and I am a friend of John and Joann Blackwell. Due to the recent passing of Jia Blackwell, many of you have wanted to show your support and love by sending in some sort of contribution. I am asking you friends, if you like, join me in donating whatever is comfortable to help. Words of strength, inspiration, comfort, and love are also very welcome!

John and Joann wish to start a charitable foundation teaching young children about water safety. Hopefully this will include low to no cost swimming instruction for families in their community. This is in the early stages and will take some time to develop.

Please know that your contribution does not only help John and Joann cope with the death of our little NPG Butterfly Jia, but you will also be laying the foundation for a very important community need.

With Much Love and Gratitude

Please Send Your Donations To:


Mr. and Mrs. John Blackwell
P.O. Box 3557
Antioch, California
94509

if there's any other info we can post, please let us know...that goes for everyone!

it would be great if a paypal account could be put together for this fund - it would be really easy for folks to contribute whatever they can, even if it's not a whole lot...it adds up!

I don't think I would donate any money until after the foundation is active. Otherwise who are you really giving money to?

I'm sure the Blackwells have set up an account for Jia's foundation fund - I can't say I know how these things work, but I'm confident it's all good and on the up-and-up.

Just wanted to express my deepest sympathy for John's daughter. Looking at that picture brings tears to my eyes because I have niece around her age. John if you are reading this I will keep you in my prayers and I know what it is like to lose a loved one. Just take your much need rest and we hope to see you back again behind those drums

Just keep God on your side and may He bless U.
