One family from the Pontiac saw what it really means to be a part of a community, especially as they experience one of the toughest ordeals that they can go through.
Bryson’s Forest Inn was packed to the gills Saturday afternoon, as folks from all over stopped in to help support Hartland Stewart, Kim Ladouceur and their three children through a range of fundraising initiatives.
Recently, Ladouceur was diagnosed with cancer and has had to take time off work to undergo treatment. As the family has one son who requires extra care, Stewart has also had to take time off, putting financial strain on them.
