Michael Day, August 17th.
This day was set aside
to commemorate the life of Michael Lynn
Shatto and his charitable community work, demonstrate compassion
for bereaved parents who have lost a child and help us
demonstrate to the world what "Michael Day" is all about,
"Kindness to Others"
"Each year on "Michael Day" - August 17th, an annual
contribution to the "Mikie Fund" will provide great potential
for the endowment to help stop the cycle of child abuse and give
tremendous hope to children and grandchildren who are struggling
with mental illness and emotional issues. Please say you
will join the "Foundation" in this orchestration of higher
harmony to give all children happier and healthier lives.
Established to:
Commemorate the life of Michael Lynn Shatto and his charitable
community work.
Michael was known by business associates, friends and family as a
personable, likable guy, whose generosity was a natural trait.
He was always helping those less fortunate and was constantly
expressing his empathy and love for others.
Demonstrate compassion for bereaved parents, who have lost a
child. A time to
demonstrate empathy and understanding to those who have lost a
child by displaying a gold metallic bow and wearing gold
metallic lapel ribbons. These parents experience the
ultimate pain and sacrifice. Therefore, we would request,
each year, you follow through with acts of kindness to these
grieving parents on this day. Help the
foundation to demonstrate to the world what "Michael Day"
is all about Kindness to Others".
A day to assess your generosity and kindness to others, with
positive strides to make the world a place for harmony, love,
security, and support - a trusting extended universal family.
"I prefer you to make mistakes in kindness
than miracles in unkindness". -Mother Teresa
"Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or
softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not
have to be cruel to be tough". -Franklin
D. Roosevelt "A man's greatness is measured by
his kindness; his education and intelligence by is
modesty; his ignorance is betrayed by his suspicions and
prejudices and his real caliber is measured by the consideration
and tolerance he has of others". - Author

"All Lights On"
The significance of "ALL LIGHTS ON" at
Foundation Headquarters on the 17th.
August 17th, 2000 is the day we lost our only
child-Mike.
Therefore, the 17th of every month is designated
as a day for the Michael Lynn Shatto Memorial Foundation to show
empathy for all bereaved parents. This compassion is
demonstrated by illuminating the outside lights of our
Foundation Headquarters as giving personal comfort and part of
ourselves to those burdened with this uniquely painful and very
complicated loss, plus to ensure the Foundation is there to help
grieving parents restore hope in facing a renewed future.
