I work very closely with individuals who have been affected by violence as well as the family of individuals who have lost their life to violence. Violence is not acceptable, and it can affect a person for the rest of their life

I have participated in several hand casting events and can honestly say that an impression can provide comfort and serve as a reminder to never forget a loved one. I invited a mother to cast an impression with her grandchildren in memory of her son, whom she lost to gun violence several years ago.

She was speechless when she saw the impression of her grandchildren hands. She told me that even though her son is gone, he lives on through his children’s hands.
