Local author partnering with Hope Foundation to benefit children in need

POLAND, Ohio (WKBN) — Profits from one local author's book sales will benefit children facing health challenges.

Another Nate Dinet has partnered with the Hope Foundation of the Mahoning Valley. Dinet is the editor-in-chief of a digital, monthly website that provides stories for kids called "The Fantastic Tales of Merriweather and Perriweather."

For the rest of November, sales from his most recent book, "The Day Tomorrow Got Lost," will go to the Hope Foundation. Dinet says he wanted to support families in the community.

"Really excited to provide additional support for families, especially the ones that are supported by the Hope Foundation because no family should have to go through that with kids that are chronically or terminally ill. So, we wanted to do our part in supporting the community," Dinet said.

The book can be purchased online , and all profits will go the Hope Foundation.

Authorities have identified body parts found in a freezer earlier this year in Colorado as belonging to a teenager who went missing nearly two decades ago. The Mesa County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the remains are those of Amanda Leariel Overstreet, who had not been seen since April 2005. Her head and hands were discovered in a freezer at a home in Grand Junction, about 240 miles west of Denver, in January. Overstreet was the biological daughter of the home's previous owners. The remains were found when the new owners, who had recently purchased and remodeled the home, attempted to give away the freezer. Investigators have emphasized that the current owners are not connected to the case. Overstreet's disappearance had never been formally reported, and the case remains under investigation, according to the sheriff's office.
