Imagine if you came home one day expecting to find a loved one there and there was no one -- and that person did not come back in a week, nor in a month -- and then a year went by, then another. Then, the next thing you know seven birthdays, seven Christmas', seven Easters and seven Thanksgivings had gone by -- and still -- no word. You went to the "authorities" for help and they tried to gaslight you, and make you think that you're the one with the problem. Then those same authorities told you that everything has been done that can be done, when you know good and well that's the farthest thing from the truth. Then the next thing you discover is that the authorities in question all have something to lose if they were to be genuinely helpful to you. Then it dawns on you, none of these people in positions of power and trust are going to do anything at all, except find a way -- any way -- to get rid of you; to make the public think it's all just one big misunderstanding; that there's no proof of anything wrong, even though it's as plain as day that there is, and has been for a long, long time. What do you do then, after you've gotten on your knees every day for seven years asking God for help? Answer: you hope that, by the grace of God, good people who still walk this earth will say, "yes, I will help you. I am not afraid; I will tell the truth. I will sign the petition. I will speak to local and national politicians. I will call up the newspapers, email television shows, distribute fliers, participate in protests and walks for justice, do research on line, confront those who need to be confronted, pray, and continue every day to pursue justice for a young man and all people who have suffered at the hands of a very powerful, deeply rooted institution. And you'll do it not because you have anything to personally gain. You'll do it because it's just the right thing -- and someday, some how, some way, it will come back to you, in spades. God bless all who are so generously and selflessly helping to find out the truth about what happened to Joshua Guimond. We are so grateful for you and for your help. Stick with us; we are depending on you to get through this. The truth is at hand.
