Present A benefit for a courageous young girl. Believe dreams come true!

When Cheyenne was 5 years old her father died and she was left with her mother who was using and manufacturing methamphetamines. Cheyenne did not eat on a regular basis. She was seeing things that weren't there, breathing in air that burned her throat, nose, eyes, and skin with a smell so strong of cat urine she could no longer bear it.
She knew it wasn't right and at the age of 9 Cheyenne prayed for guidance and direction. One day, the phone rang, she went to answer it; laying there next to the phone was a meth pipe. There was no one on the other end of the phone, nor was there a number on the caller ID. She felt her father's spirit, grabbed the meth pipe and put it in her back pack and ran to the bus. She missed the bus. She could hardly breathe, but she went back into the house waking her mom asking for a ride to school. On the way to school, her mom went off the road several times searching for the missing pipe. When they reached the school, Cheyenne got out of the care and bolted for the school doors, only to be called back by her mom. She stopped, dead in her tracks, took a deep breath, turned and walked back to the care. Her mom said "Where is my kiss", so she kissed her mom on the cheek, said goodbye and bolted towards the door once more. Feeling safe inside the school, Cheyenne told the teacher she needed to talk to her in private. Based on the information provided by Cheyenne the police department obtained a warrant. Jackson County Drug Task Force raided the home, finding two complete meth labs, on in the garage and one in the attic.

Cheyenne is 15 years old now and her grandparents have adopted her.
Cheyenne's dream is to have a sweet 16 birthday party in her own home. Cheyenne's grandparents spent their life savings since their son's death fighting for custody of her, leaving their home in disrepair. You see, she has never been able to have a birthday party at home, first because of the meth and now because of the disarray. Cheyenne first wants to repay her grandparents by fixing up their home.

However, her life long mission is to help others understand the effects of methamphetamines and empower kids! She wants to give back in her campaign.
