"When we had this happen to us, had our daughter slaughtered, we didn't know what to do, or what was going to happen next," said Sandy Phillips, parent of her 24-year-old daughter, Jessica Ghawi, who was killed in the 2012 Colorado movie theater shooting. "We didn't want to live. It was horrific. And nobody else understood, except other survivors." Ms. Phillips and her husband, Lonnie Phillips, are raising money to travel to Parkland, Florida, to quietly let the families of the recent Florida school shooting's victims know that they're there for them, whether that be, to listen, advise, hug, cry, or to perhaps recruit them to one of the most determined gun-control activists in the country. The Phillipses serve as guides in the immediate aftermath of these tragedies, such as those of Sandy Hook, San Bernardino, Virginia Tech, and Roseburg to help grieving families.
I find this very kind of the Phillips family. Reaching out to those hurting, knowing that both of them are in the same boat, even through tragedy.

It’s amazing that there is support around the world, and with all the help and voices they can get, a change WILL be made(hopefully soon).
