Pensacola mother turns tragedy into effort to bring joy to others
PENSACOLA, Fla. -- A Pensacola mother is turning her unimaginable sorrow into an effort to bring joy to others.
Taxie Lambert is off and running with Project Formal.
"Her formal event, last formal event, was her fifth grade graduation," Lambert said. "I can remember going and shopping for that Sunday school dress. It was important for her to look her best."
Eleven-year-old Desirea Sierra never made it past that fifth grade formal dress because she lost her life to domestic violence at the hands of her father in April 2000. Today her mother, Taxie Lambert, has launched Project Formal through her 4EVR DEZ Foundation.
