Summer Shipp

We are quickly approaching December 8, which will be 2 years since that fateful day my Mother, Summer Shipp, vanished without a trace. I thank you for all your kindness, support, and prayers during this difficult time.

In honor of Summer Shipp, "Friends of Summer" (501(c)3 pending) will be joining forces with The "Achieve Foundation" (501(c)3) in order to raise awareness of Women's Self Protection Measures.

The "Achieve Foundation" (www.achievefoundation.com) will be conducting FREE self-defense training classes for women on Saturday & Sunday, December 9&10 from 8:00 a.m to 1:00 p.m at Screenland Theatre, 17th and Washington, KC, MO.

If you would like to attend, please be at Screenland Theatre between 8:00 a.m. & 10:00 a.m. on either day. The workshop will consist of 3-4 teams of trainers, each of which will be teaching a different technique of self-defense. You may stay and learn one technique or you may stay and learn as many different techniques as you wish. (You do not need to stay the entire duration)

Please help spread the word and invite your friends and family to attend! Or consider sending the office personnel. All are welcome!

Or if you would like to just drop by to show your support, please feel free to do so !! We would love to see you even if you do not wish to attend the workshop.

A flyer detailing the workshop will be sent soon.

Too often, women become the victims of violence because they have not been taught how to defend themselves. Many times, a small amount of training is all that is necessary to prevent some of the tragedies that befall women in vulnerable situations. Whether the danger comes from men or from women meaning harm to hapless victims, knowledge of self-defense can make an immediate difference and change the outcome of otherwise tragic circumstances.

If just one woman can benefit from the kind of knowledge and self-defense skills that can be acquired from proper training, this workshop will be worth it.

We hope to see you there. If you have any questions, please visit www.achievefoundation.com or www.friendsofsummer.com or call 816-623-3746.

Always hopeful,
Brandy Shipp

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The purpose of this web site, which began after Paul McLaughlin got his first computer in 1994, is to show what one handicapped survivor has done in the community for the prevention and awareness of child abuse. Paul's goal is not to be a victim, not to abuse self, and not to abuse the community by negative revenge, but to speak out about child abuse and also to work in the communities to heal himself and to educate people about the ‘before/during/after' effects of abuse.


Tell your story and also work to save our children in your community. Child abuse or any abuse will continue as long we don't talk about it and don't work to 'help stop child abuse.'
