Dear Parents:

I am sure many of you have been following the news lately about David Goldman’s custody battle. What you may not know is that Sean Goldman was a student in our Pre-K, 3 year old, 2 day program in the 2003-2004 school year. Many current fourth grade students may recall Sean as a classmate.

David has been trying to get custody of his son since his son was taken to Brazil by his mother back in 2004. Mr. Goldman has spent many years and a great deal money trying to regain custody of Sean.

I am writing to you in the hopes of offering David and his family support from the community of St. Leo the Great. David has a website: BringSeanHome.org which is an international campaign to return his kidnapped son. This website explains David’s story and has up to date court rulings on this matter.

This website has a link for donations which can be sent to BRING SEAN HOME FOUNDATION, P.O. BOX 670, LINCROFT, NJ 07738 OR PAID THROUGH PAYPAL. DAVID GOLDMAN HAS SPENT OVER $350,000 over the past four years fighting to bring his son home from Brazil and the costs continue to increase daily. For that reason, we are asking the community of St. Leo the Great to consider making a donation of any amount to help David in his fight to be reunited with his son. Donations will be used to defray legal, travel and other costs specifically associated with this ongoing custody case. Any surplus funds will be donated to Save the Children (www.savethechildren.org), the leading independent organization creating real and lasting change for children in need in the United States and around the world.

To facilitate the donation process David's partners in Shore Catch Guide Service, LLC of Manasquan, NJ have agreed to accept donations through the company's PayPal account. Your donation is recorded as BringSeanHome.org and the receipt will be in the name of Shore Catch Guide Service.

It is my hope that we can come together as a community of faith and love to show our support to the Goldman family. Any amount that you can contribute I am sure will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Cheryl Marzigliano Vice Principal
