This is why we do what we do at Sandy Hook Promise and Dylan’s Wings of Change. This is a story no parent should need to tell. This unbearable grief is one that families should not feel. Children should be included, protected and safe...
Saturday, 12/14, marks 7 years since the Sandy Hook tragedy. Learn more about each family at mysandyhookfamily.org. And learn more about how we choose to honor Dylan by visiting dylanswingsofchange.org and sandyhookpromise.org. Thank you. @sandyhook @DylansWings
