COME SUPPORT THE FAUST FAMILY!!!

There is the neatest couple in our ward named AJ and Alissa Faust. AJ happens to be our home teacher, and is such an amazing person! On September 20, 2009, His parents, Damon and Barbara Faust of Mapleton, Utah, were hit by a man driving under the influence of illegal drugs. Damon died at the scene, and his wife was critically injured. Barbara was in intensive care for three weeks fighting for her life. Although she has returned home, she will need continued medical help and time to fully recover. The family has no health insurance and Damon's life insurance had expired just before the accident. This has left the family with mounting bills. Damon and Barbara have ten children; eight of them are still at home. The family is in great financial need as a result of the accident and loss of Damon and the sole income he provided. As a result, the community has coming together to help raise $ for the family. There is a fund raiser this Thursday for the Faust family. Dinner can be purchased, activities to keep the kids busy, entertainment, great auction items, connecting with friends and family and a tribute to Damon. February 18 UVU McKay Events Center. Dinner and silent auction 6-7PM, auction and entertainment 7PM on. To learn more about the event you can go here. Please spread the word to your family and friends that live in the area. Also, it would be great if you could post about it on your own blog or facebook!
