Anyone that knows  Aaron Armsrong-Stewart, already knows she has grown up in Melville. She has lived here all her life. 

The familiarity of this community has helped support her as a successful student in school and a successful participant in all of her extra-curricular activites around Melville.   In spite of being from a split family, being diagnosed with juvenile type 1 diabetes a few years ago, and now most recently, the loss of her beloved father, Aaron still has a strong will to thrive.    Life can be very tough for most of us, but when you are ten years old, life should still have some qualitites of being sweet and simple, fun and exciting.

Since the accident Aaron's natural mother has stepped in as the full-time legal custodian since Aaron's father's untimely death. Marie has been in Aaron's life consistently since birth. Marie has done everything possible to make Aaron's life managable and happy inspite of the tragedy. Marie has made a home here in Melville for Aaron, complete with a yard to play in (not far from her father's former house), and has managed to continue Aaron's many many extra curricular activities with ease... all out of God's guidance to keep Aaron active, stable, and looking positively towards her future.

On May 18th, the day after Aaron's tenth birthday, Marie recieved a very giant package from a very large lawfirm from Aaron's Aunt in Vancouver. The intentions of these forms is to win custody of Aaron, take her to Vancouver to raise her, and to put distance between Aaron and her mother, and hometown in Melville.

If you feel it is moraly wrong, or unjust, or just plain ignorant to remove Aaron from her mother, her home, and life in Melville at this very sensitive time in Aaron's life please sign the petition below.  Your signature is your voice, and your voice is our community...
