Letter from the Executive Director

Dear Tuesday's Children Family Members, Supporters and Friends,

As we review our programs for 2019, we see the need for growth — both domestically and internationally — in order to best serve the individuals and communities that look to Tuesday's Children for support.

Last week's heartbreaking news of yet another senseless attack — this time on innocent people as they peacefully gathered in their place of worship — killing at least 50 women, men and children and wounding 50 others — leaves us all feeling shocked, bewildered and horrified.

We have been in contact with people in Christchurch and we intend to help this community heal. They look to connect to us for many reasons — perhaps to try to understand how to begin processing the devastation, how to grapple with the journey of mourning and how to begin to move forward after something so unprecedented and traumatic occurs to their families and their communities.

Tuesday's Children provides a place of understanding for people of all faiths, from all nations and all walks of life, to be connected and heal together. Our Tuesday's Children families — the 9/11 community, Gold Star military families, global youth who have formed lasting friendships through Project COMMON BOND, and the growing number of U.S. and global communities recovering from mass shootings and violent extremism — stand united in resilience.

We need your help to continue to provide this space — this shared community — so that these individuals, who have lost so much, do not walk alone. As we continue to grow as an organization to meet these rising needs, we are inspired in our mission by the remarkable journeys of the families and children we serve, who have become such incredible beacons of hope and resilience.

For our families, these horrific events can be reminders of the struggles you have endured. If any family members are going through a difficult time, please reach out to us. Tuesday's Children is always here as a support system.

We thank you for your support and for your belief in the programs and services that we deliver.

Warmest regards,
Terry
In Case You Missed It...

Tuesday's Children was thrilled to be included in the Broadway Brews Project, a charitable effort from the The Happy Hour Guys . Come From Away, the fifth show to be included in this project, selected Tuesday's Children as their benefiting charity.

The beer, called Islander Pale Ale and brewed by Five Boroughs Brewing Co., flew off of store shelves fast! Luckily, another batch is currently being brewed. Stay tuned to our social media channels for updates on when it will be available again.

Many thanks to Come From Away, The Happy Hour Guys and Five Boroughs Brewing Co. for bringing this wonderful opportunity to life.
