We Mostly Do it to Ourselves

Just heard that there is an 'amber alert' for a one-year old in Maywood, IL.

It's hard to get the image of the eight-year old, killed in the Boston bombing, out of my head (I don't really want to) who held up a poster he made advocating for peace and humans not harming others.

Who will forget the fact that Hadiya Pendleton walked in the Inauguration Day Parade only to return to Chicago and senselessly be gunned down the following week.

Virginia Tech, Columbine, Newtown...enough said

Bullying, autism, ADHD and other illnesses that can afflict students.  And some of the children in schools where these conditions exist have a nurse in the building once a week!

Like I said, we mostly do it to ourselves or others perpetrate these acts of harm upon others.  These are but a sampling of the many types of injustices that come to children/students in their early lives.  Hopefully, our charity helps to lessen the effects of what they face on an almost daily basis.
