On ..October 17, 2009.., we held a Benefit Concert for missing child Haleigh Cummings.  
We had a dream of how it would all turn out.  Life is not a dream and reality doesn’t always live up to our dreams, sometimes it just works 
out in a different way.  

Like most of the country, we had been seeing Haleigh’s picture everywhere.  We fell in love with her; and because of our past experiences 
we felt close to her family even though we did not know them.  On October 17, we met them.  We met her mother Crystal Sheffield, her 
grandmother Marie Griffith, and her 10 year old aunt ....Savannah.....  Crystal and Tina embraced immediately, two mothers that know what it is like
to have a missing child.  They did not know each other, just on the internet; but the bond was strong!  

We spent all night with them, talking, laughing, crying and in sometimes in complete silence.  Tina’s daughter had her baby with her and ....
Crystal.... wanted to hold him.  She did not let go for a very long time, watching her you could see her motherly love and nurturing instincts, 
there was nothing more touching and beautiful at that moment. She is the kind of person that hides her pain well, but everyone around her 
that night knew that she loves her little girl with all her heart and soul.  Her heart was breaking every single moment!  Like she said, 
“No body knows what she has gone through in her life and how she really feels about her children”.  
Everything she said and did proved to us that her pain is unbearable and very real.

We made some life-long friends!  Their strength and class was apparent in everything they did.  They were very kind to our staff and 
volunteers, everyone felt like 
they had known them for years.  

The best part of the night came all the way from Houston!  Mr. Tim Miller from Texas Equusearch drove all the way from Houston, Texas to 
the Benefit to meet Crystal and Marie.  They talked like old friends and made plans to search for Haleigh.  Crystal and Marie told us that 
they had never met Mr. Tim Miller and if it wasn’t for the Benefit, they probably would not have met.  ....Mission.... accomplished!  

Mr. Tim Miller will use all his resources to help Crystal and Marie and will not give up until Haleigh is found!  

The rest of the night, they enjoyed the music and company.  There was less stress and pressure in their hearts, they knew that Mr. Miller 
would never give up! 
Meeting Mr. Miller was a great pleasure for us all, a nicer and kinder man, we have never met.  That night brought together a lot of 
amazing people that might have never met, all were there for a beautiful little girl that most of us have never met but yet we all love her!
