Mrs. Linda Loera is a wife and mother of 2 children at St. Joseph's school in Upland, CA. On one fatefu day in Sept. 2004 she found herself in a hospital bed lost in a coma. It was moths and many prayers later that Mrs. Loera would open her eyes and begin her difficult journey back to her family. Her extended family at St. Joseph continued with their support and it was Mrs. Laura Grant who wanted to extend that help when she began breaking ground in conjunction with the Musicians and Celebrities Foundation for a benefit concert to help the Loera family. Unfortunately , before too much progress could be made in this regard, Mrs. Grant was involved in a very violent car accident. Her many broken bones required weeks of treatment at a local hospital followed by many more weeks in recovery and rehabilitation. Ironically, months later, both women came together again at the same rehab hospital.

Thanks to all who came out and supported this succesful event! St. Joseph's school raised over $1,700.00 cash for each of the two families(Loera and Grant)during the concert, plus additional checks came in prior to and after the benefit. All monies are going direct to the families.
*Special thanks to St. Joseph's Church for providing the facility, all of the community volunteers, the Musicians and Celebrities Foundation and all of the musicians who donated their time and talent!
