THE NEED FOR HOPE
COMBATING Loneliness Post-trauma
"...I will never forget the first day I saw your Stars of HOPE... I don't recall what it said, but I do recall how it made me feel. I felt comfort, healing and happiness that someone was thinking of us because at that moment in time it sure didn't feel like it." -Rob, Breezy Point, New York
THE NEED FOR HOPE
EMPOWERING RESILIENCE
"I am so grateful that the stars hanging from the fence surrounding the IRC compelled me to pull over and investigate more. It was humbling to see the love, support and hope sent from around the country and know that we are not alone in the journey of healing. As I continue to say, the symbolism of these Stars of HOPE surrounding that awful place is so powerful."

THE NEED FOR HOPE
strengthening COMPASSION & EMPATHY
As a mot her of two girls I want them to grow up strong, to be part of something important, and to know you can and should make a difference in someone else’s life. A very bad thing happened to our family and this is a way for us to give back to another community struggling for normalcy. It’s our way to Pay It Forward.
