I created this blog because I care about kids. As an aunt, godmother, teacher, and human being, the safety and happiness of children matter a great deal to me and I've always felt compelled to do my part to help create a safe and accepting world for them. So I find myself enraged and feeling painfully powerless in response to yesterday's tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. Those feelings are not likely to go away anytime soon but, in the meantime, I need something to grab onto that can help provide me with a small sense of control in the middle of this mess. I need to help in a way that extends beyond prayer...although I'll also be doing plenty of that in the days, weeks, and months to come.
There are a quite few helping organizations that are directly connected to the community of Newtown and they are asking for our support so that they are able to effectively treat their citizens who are suffering such devastation from yesterday's trauma and loss. Here is a link I came across for anyone who wants to donate to their cause: How To Help
And for those of you who are struggling with how to talk to children about yesterday's events, here is another helpful link: How To Talk To Kids About The Tragedy In Newtown, Connecticut
Thanks for reading and please share with others.
Sincerely,
Mrs. K
