Reaching Out to Sandy Hook

Our family photographer and friend is friends with a survivor of the Columbine Shooting who, with another survivor, has created a Children's Book for the survivors and community of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting. 

These women have struggled for years to overcome the emotional trauma of witnessing such an awful event. When they heard about the tragedy that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary they decided to try to help. They have come up with a book that they have contacted my friend to help with by illustrating each healing concept with a photograph, in fact one of the photo's in there is a photo that she took of our family a while ago. It is going to be distributed to the survivors in that school and the community and is an exciting project that will hopefully help the children that are struggling to get back to their normal lives after such a horrific event. If you would like to help with this project, it is just $3 per book/child and it would be very much appreciated! and 100% of the monies collected will be going towards the book, then after that the survivors fund. Here is the link to donate, they only need another $2500. Thank you! http://www.gofundme.com/1zoefs

A Child's Self-Esteem
