Donna Gore learned the lessons starting in 1981 when her father was murdered.  After waiting 6 long years for justice, the journey she was on turned into a passion for helping others in similar situations.  Donna was able to transform a negative situation into a positive approach to life through gathering with other victims and aiding them through their own traumas.

  The second case discussion will focus on the recent sentencing of former Governor Rod Blagojevich who received a sentence of 14 years for trying to sell President O’Bama’s senate seat."At the time of his arrest, two years into his second term, court-authorized wiretaps caught Blagoyevich offering Obama’s Senate seat in exchange for favors, including a job with a non-profit or a union, corporate posts for his wife, campaign contributions or even a post in the Obama administration. In fact, he considered appointing himself to the open Senate seat, thinking that his indictment would go better as a sitting Senator than as a governor – plus the federal contacts he made as a Senator would benefit him down the road."   Holly on the Hill

On Mother’s Day 2006, high school senior Samantha Guzman was just weeks away from graduating and wearing her crown as prom queen. She picked out a beautiful red dress to wear to prom. She proudly modeled it for her mother and imagined the tiara she would wear the night she was crowned prom queen. But just a few weeks away from the dance, on Mother’s Day 2006, Samantha was killed. She never got the chance to wear her gown. Instead, her mother buried her in it. Weeks later, her mother was handed her diploma.
