The group has turned its attention to children who are cancer patients at the local children’s hospitals. Cynthia leads the group as they create and donate kids tote bags and pillowcases for each child. 

The Whites crossed paths with the DeMott family immediately following the tragic event that took the precious life of Keri Anne DeMott.  They were asked to contact Bill and Lacey by Pastor Byron Bledsoe.

After communicating with Bill by phone, they went to the DeMott's house, and that is when the amazing relationship with the DeMott and Whites began. Soon after the Keri Anne DeMott Foundation was established.
