“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” -John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Wishing everyone a Blessed Thanksgiving 🙏🏼

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend." 🙏🏼

REACH would like to take the time to thank everyone who donates, provides us with kind words, and continuously supports us❤️️

This Thanksgiving we were very happy to be able to work along with the Strong Families Preventive Program at Forestdale, Inc. We were able to donate meals and Target gift cards for families in need.

"Forestdale begins with the fundamental understanding that parenting is challenging for everyone, and that we all need a helping hand. The program helps families address chronic problems such as long-term unemployment, truancy and homelessness—all risk factors for foster care removal. The program also supports families whose children have previously been in foster care."

Giving back to the community and helping out in anyway we can is our goal. Keeping Elijah's name alive through goodness is our mission and we couldn't do it without you. 🙏🏼

On behalf of the entire Co**ha family at REACH,
We hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving

On September 10, 2014, 22 month old, Elijah Hunter Co**ha, was murdered by the person who gave birth to him. The money we intend to raise will go towards a non-profit foundation as well as the publishing of a book written for Elijah by his father, USMC Sgt. Juan D. Co**ha. Both of which will ben...

After two very long years Veronica Rivas is finally sentenced to 21 years for torturing and murdering Elijah Hunter Co**ha...

Our mission at REACH has been to keep Elijah's name alive and that's what we will continue doing.

We have repurposed the organization but our mission remains the same; helping people in Elijah's name. So our sweet angel, who was taking from us, won't be forgotten.

On behalf of the entire Co**ha family we would like to extend our gratitude and love for the support we have received since Elijah's death over two years ago. ❤️❤❤️

As she sat there emotionless, with no remorse, and praying, we can only hope that Veronica Rivas lives a long life so that maybe one day she will come to terms with what she did. 21 years is not a punishment at all for her actions, hopefully she is denied parole by then.

This very beautifully written and touching poem was written by a family friend, we would like to share it with you and thank everyone for their continuous support and love within these last two years. ❤️❤️❤️

"2 years ago on September 10, my friend's son was murdered by his own mother due to a custody battle. The pain him and his family has been going through has been insurmountable.

Today, she was sentenced to 21 years. A true injustice to this sweet baby boy, whose smile and laughter was infectious and was loved by his father and family tremendously.

Tonight, I write this tribute to you and Elijah Hunter. Jay Shells. 🐘

TWENTY ONE

21 months mommy that was all you gave me.
For murdering me, 21 years is all you were sentenced.
21 months mommy, I was just learning to speak, I often wonder if you ask for repentance ?

21 years while you get the chance to walk and breathe.
21 months mommy, my breath you took away from me.

21 years mommy, that's all you get to suffer.
21 months was all I was allotted to bring my father and family unbridled joy, I just wanted another...

21 years shackled with possibility of parole in 19 years.
21 months mommy, as I kicked, screamed, wailed and cried in tears.

21 months was all I was given.
21 years as you ponder and try to be forgiven.

While you gave me life, you robbed me from living.

You took away my safety net, my father who loved me with his every being.

You were angry mommy, for daddy not wanting to be with you.

But I ask why ? what would it have taken to break through ?

21 months you drowned me with your sorrows not knowing how much life I had left in me.

I fought mommy. I fought with all my life.
I fought for my daddy who I knew was waiting for me. I know the pain cuts him everyday, stabbing him like a knife.

I was scared mommy, I kicked and cried for him. I knew in his arms I would be safe.
I loved him mommy, with every ounce of me; never did I feel unsafe.

21 years mommy that is all that you get.
21 months was all I was given and no one will ever forget.

I miss my daddy and hope he knows just how much...
I hope he feels me everyday even though we are no longer able to touch."
