Dear Tuesday's Children Friends, Families and Supporters,

As we enter this season of giving and in reflecting on all that we have to be grateful for, one thing that comes to mind for me are those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for all of us—a most honorable and selfless sacrifice, so that we can live with the unparalleled freedoms and opportunities that we enjoy each and every day.

Over the last few years, I have met so many families and individuals who have dedicated their lives to serving our nation. It has truly been an honor to get to know so many of these committed and awe-inspiring families. As we look to provide long-term support to these children, spouses and parents who have given so much to us, I hope that you can look to give back to them and to support their journey of recovery and resilience.

There are many ways to help, and some are outlined below—help us find a mentor for a Gold Star child; become a Career Mentor for a young adult directly impacted by Tuesday, September 11th; get your company involved in a Helping Heals Day of Service for those impacted by mass violence; and/or make a donation to help us continue to serve and support all those who have been impacted by terrorism, war and mass violence.

Giving makes us all feel good.

A Very Happy Holiday Season to You and Yours,

Terry

Gold Star Moms Retreat
Gold Star mothers recently joined us in Bandera, Texas for a weekend of healing. Participants honored their sons and daughters, shared stories of resilience and formed lasting friendships. Thank you to all who attended and to the Mayan Dude Ranch for hosting us!
Military Appreciation Night with the New York Islanders
Thank you to the New York Islanders for providing our Gold Star families with tickets to Military Appreciation Night! Everyone enjoyed meeting some amazing dogs from the Guide Dog Foundation , being featured on the JumboTron, and watching the Islanders secure their eighth straight victory.
VIII International Congress for Victims of Terrorism
We were honored to be in attendance at the VIII International Congress for Victims of Terrorism in Nice, France, where 80 countries were represented. We saw old friends, made new ones and look forward to building on these connections in the future.

This experience was a reminder of the great work all of these organizations are doing on behalf of victims of terrorism.
Mentor Spotlight: Abby and Analeigh

Analeigh, a Gold Star child, is an 8-year-old cheerleader, artist and fashion-lover who lives with her sister, Liana, and mom, Alexa. She is an ambitious young entrepreneur with a growing slime business and lots of energy.

Abby works at a private equity firm in Manhattan and, like Analeigh, loves fashion. While the mutual interest was enough to confirm this ideal pairing, it was Abby's generous gift of a stuffed "caticorn" (unicorn and cat hybrid) that really solidified the start of a wonderful friendship.

Abby and Analeigh's first outing was to see the new Addams Family movie. Most recently, Abby attended Liana's quinceanera with Analeigh!
Tuesday's Children is actively recruiting mentors and has children waiting in the following areas!
