Dear Friend,
This is a very difficult email for me to write you.
I know it will take me some time to write this out, I might have to
step away to fight back the tears. I hope you can be patient with me.
YOU SEE, THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST CHRISTMAS MY THREE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN
AND I GET TO SPEND WITH MY HUSBAND AND THEIR LOVING FATHER, ERIC, FOR
A LONG TIME.
[Family Picture with Eric]

That’s Eric, myself, and our children in this photo, just so you
know what we look like.
Earlier this year, Eric – a Detective for the Kansas City Police
Department – was wrongfully sentenced to prison for 6 years after
defending himself and his partner in the line of duty.
Eric and one of his fellow detectives were pursuing 26-year old
Cameron Lamb – who was erratically and dangerously driving to chase
down his ex-girlfriend and her children.
Eric and his partner followed Lamb to a garage, where Lamb would do
the unthinkable: HE RAISED A FIREARM AND POINTED IT DIRECTLY AT
ERIC’S PARTNER.
In swift action, my husband shot at Lamb, stopping the threat and
saving his partner’s life.
7 months later, when Eric should have been touted as a hero for
protecting our community from dangerous criminals, the local
prosecutor would charge my husband – the loving father of my
children – with manslaughter.
And after an exhausting and expensive legal battle, Eric lost.
Our justice system failed Eric.
It failed our children.
And it failed every single police officer who puts their own life at
risk to protect mine and yours.
But this is not God’s plan for Eric. God won’t lock Eric behind
bars and leave my children without a dad.
No – God is giving us the strength to fight and appeal this wrong
court decision to finally clear my good husband’s name.
I thank God everyday that he sent us to the Law Enforcement Legal
Defense Fund, who has graciously helped us through every gut-wrenching
minute.
WILL YOU HELP OUR DIFFICULT BATTLE TO APPEAL BY SENDING LELDF ANOTHER
GENEROUS, TAX-DEDUCTIBLE CHRISTMAS DONATION OF $35, $50, $100, OR
MORE?

LELDF is a national group fighting on behalf of wrongly-accused police
officers like Eric.
LELDF has helped dozens of innocent cops – and their families – at
their lowest moments.
And now that I’m faced with the reality that Eric could be spending
the next 6 years behind bars, and I’ll be left to raise our three
children on my own, LELDF has stood by our side and is continuing to
help us fight for what’s right: CLEARING ERIC’S NAME.
As a non-profit organization, they depend solely on generous gifts
from folks like you to defend officers like Eric.
In fact, LELDF must raise OVER $100,000 this Christmas season to
support my husband Eric and the other important cases they’re
fighting, like Officer Michael Dunn and US Marshall Chad Skaggs.
I truly believe God is using LELDF to answer our prayers. And I pray
today that God will put it on your heart to generously support
LELDF’s mission again.
WOULD YOU GIVE A $35, $50, $100, OR MORE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE GIFT TODAY?

Friend, if I had anywhere else to turn, I wouldn’t be so bold as to
ask for your help.
But Eric and I don’t have the kind of money it takes to pay for
lawyers, expert witnesses, and court fees on our own.
And if we lose this appeal, then this will be the last Christmas Eric
gets to spend with our children for six years.
I simply can’t bear the thought of watching my children grow up
without him.
So, thank you for reading my email. I understand how busy the
Christmas season is – it means so much to me that you sacrificed
your time today to read my update.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Sincerely,
Sarah DeValkenaere
