Zabeth and Paul Bayne – Part 23 – The Bayne Campaign for Justice

Paul and Zabeth Bayne have been petitioning to have their children returned to them for the past two years. Sadly they cannot expect grace from the Ministry of Children and Family Development and they will be compelled to go to a court of law to reclaim the custody of children. They have yet to have that day.

Nevertheless their efforts have cost the Baynes so much. They once owned a new home in Hope, B.C. but they have lost that. Liens were put against the house by two lawyers working for them previously. They are now renting in Surrey. They have not been able to sustain day jobs and instead are working as night custodians so they can be free in day hours to visit their children during brief windows of time. Zabeth, a concert pianist, was compelled to sell her grand piano in order to generate funds to assist them with legal debts incurred by their struggle with a government agency which is lacking in the very commodity it espouses to us as tax payers – compassion.

This case will go to court in the new year - 2010. It appears to be the only course of action by which justice will be realized for them.

Zabeth is seeking to raise some funds through piano concerts to finance this legal action. She has a friend who is also an accomplished pianist and together they will perform an extraordinary evening of dual piano. Of course she requires a venue or two. It helps when the venue has a grand piano and the musicians are required only to bring one other grand in for such an occasion. At the present time, a contemporary church called Tapestry Church in Richmond has offered to host one concert in November. The idea is that attendance will be by donation.

One concert is not enough. Time will soon run out in 2009 because Christmas events will prioritize so many venues. It would be a marvelous provision if there are other churches or organizations that will offer to host and publicize a fund raising event for the Baynes. If you have an interest in this please contact Zabeth and Paul Bayne at pzandkids@gmail.com .
