Community Events to support the Josie Ratley Fund
A press conference was held yesterday at Broward General to update the public on the latest condition of Josie. We also brought the media up to date on the overwhelming community support that has been pouring in from all over South Florida.
If we have not already done so personally, thank you for all your emails of support for what we are doing on this important case in speaking out about teenage violence and all of the other related subjects. Yesterday alone, in three different parts of Broward County, there were teen violence forums held because of the Ratley case.
