A few of our fallen babies..
The loss of young lives to violence is a tragedy that deeply affects our community. Our hearts ache for the families and friends who have experienced a loss. Let us remember the vibrant lives cut short and honor their memory by working towards a safer, more just future for all our youth. We must prioritize initiatives that address the root causes of violence, provide mental health support, and create safe spaces for young people to thrive. Together, we can build a community where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
