We are now Convicted Felons for asserting our rights.  Instead of protesting a system that has continued to prove we are not valued, no matter our accreditations, community involvement, and criminal history; our response to the trauma our family has experienced in our hometown, is to "Buy the Community for the Community."  We have a 90 day campaign to raise money to buy a building to start teaching the community all we have learned around how to advocate properly for themselves.  Click the images above to learn about our vision.  If you believe our story matters and educating others matter, click the donation button below to give to our 90 day campaign.

After much prayer and studying, we decided to take our case to trial and not testify as Jesus did during his crucifixion!  There was an overwhelming amount of reasonable doubt since there was no 911 call, no damage or proof of an actual hit and run, no witnesses, etc.  Nevertheless, we were both guilty of a Felony of Resisting and Obstructing a Police Office, and 4th degree Child Abuse.  Our sentencing takes place on July 31st.  We ask you to watch the video and be the judge of if we were not minority, would the officer had escalated the situation, shown us the supposed damage, or even asked us to put our baby in the car before grabbing our arms.

April 2023

My wife and I are being persecuted by the Grand Rapids Police Department. We were arrested in front of our 10 month old baby, 10 year old son and 9 year old niece after leaving a restaurant downtown. They accused us of hitting a supposed "bike" with our car and then parking around the corner. What we tried to explain was that we had been in a restaurant for 30 minutes, and that  we DID NOT hit anything especially being as how we never drove on the street that the supposed "crash" took place. The officers didn't listen and escalated the situation very quickly. Long story short, we have both been charged with felonies and GRPD opend a CPS case on us because my wife was holding our baby while GRPD grabbed her and tried to arrest the both of us.

 

Before we were convicted of anything, we lost job and volunteer opportunities as well as licenses. It seems that the justice system's moto is "Guilty until proven innocent.". We need help as we fight to prove our innocence. We are asking for financial contributions as we hire lawyers who are willing to fight with us.
