All monies raised are for the numerous Tini Spark in the Dark Scholarships in memory and honor of our precious forever 19 year old daughter Tini. "And I compare it to a spark in the dark. As small as a spark in the dark might be, it can be seen by all those around it. And if those sparks encourage further sparks, a tremendous light can be created and overcome any and all darkness. So, as easy as it is to say "my one life and heart probably won't make much of a difference, considering how many people there are in the world," you're wrong. Sorry, not sorry! There is power in one heart, just as there is power in one spark." ~ Tini Semeria You can read Tini's entire blog here -  https://christinasemeria.wordpress.com/ You can download Tini's original song "Be Still" here - https://christinasemeria.org/2017/01/29/be-still-download-available/
