Harvey Family Tragedy

While many of you have proudly posted pictures of your children getting on the bus for their first day of school, the Harvey family could not experience the joy of the first day of school this year with Kaelyn.  

Once a beautiful, talented and optimistic high school junior, Kaelyn Harvey began to suffer from depression last fall. The Harvey family took immediate steps to get Kaelyn the help she needed by involving the school, looking for support from friends, family, medical professionals and finally sending her to a treatment facility.  Unfortunately the extreme efforts failed and on March 23rd, Kaelyn took her own life.  Her tragic suicide has devastated this once strong family and the emotional wounds have left her mother unable to hold her job and the family financially burdened with their home facing foreclosure and countless bills going unpaid.  

PLEASE DONATE 

Please help the Harvey family during this difficult time to lessen the burden of the cost of Kaelyn not being with them today.  Please donate what you can.  The money will be used to help the Harvey family pay their mortgage and bills during this difficult time.

PLEASE POST

Please take a minute to share this on your Facebook page and/or share with family and friends so we can get the word out.

THANK YOU

Thank you for your generosity.  It means the world to the Harvey family who has a difficult time asking for help.

A foundation to support teen suicide is being developed in honor of Kaelyn.  More details will be provided at a later time.

I AM NOT PERFECT 
                                             by Kaelyn Harvey
I am not perfect.

I do things I shouldn’t,

I think things I wouldn’t.

I write things I don’t read

And I say things I don’t mean.

I am not perfect.

I act in ways that aren’t nice,

I snap, I don’t think twice.

I make decisions on a whim,

Results of this can be grim.

I am not perfect.

I look in the sky,

Wishing I could fly.

I know why people jump

Off of buildings like the Trump.

I am not perfect.

I so dearly miss you

But maybe you knew.

I really need you

But I will hide that too.

I am not perfect.

I have lots of scars,

You can see them from afar.

I will hide them but I fear,

They will never disappear.

I am not perfect.

I will break, and fall

I will crumble like a wall.

I can hurt and cry,

I will fake a smile and lie.

I am not perfect.

I do things to feel pain,

In the sunshine or rain.

I am confused,

Often misused.

I am not perfect.

I don’t know how to say I’m sorry,

Instead I’ll have you look into the starry

Night sky up above

Because I’m not good with words, my love.

I am not perfect.

My mood is ever changing,

Always rearranging.

Itself in my mind

With thoughts that aren’t mine.

I am not perfect.

I wish I could see

You’re not the enemy to me.

You only want what’s best,

And yet I still detest.

I am not perfect.

It’s hard to sleep at night,

Without the radiating light

You give off in my world

Like the sun unfurled.

I am not perfect.

I change sometimes

For no reason or rhyme.

I try things and strive

To just feel alive.

I am not perfect.

No matter what I do,

I will still stay true.

I may get lost along the way,

But I will never totally stray.

I am not perfect.

I do things I shouldn’t,

I think things I wouldn’t.

I write things I don’t read

And say things I don’t mean.

I am not perfect.

But I am human.

And isn’t that enough?  https://youtu.be/jLEzyD-X25w
