John,
Yesterday, it took just one minute for a gunman in Dayton, Ohio, to murder at least nine people and injure 27 others.
In El Paso, Texas, it took just six minutes for a shooter to murder at least 22 people and injure 24 more.
And at Sandy Hook Elementary, it took just four minutes for the shooter who murdered my sweet little Daniel to kill 20 children and six educators.
I know all too well what it's like to lose my loved one in an instant, and my heart breaks for the 31 families who got the agonizing news that their loved one wasn't coming home.
I feel angry. I feel defeated. I feel like I've failed them.
But feeling hopeless won't honor my little boy or the 31 people who were murdered in El Paso and Dayton. Now is the time to take action – otherwise more lives will be put at risk.
We need your immediate help to expand our gun violence prevention programs and push Congress to finally vote on gun safety reforms, like the universal background check bill that has been stalled in the Senate for months. But we're still $113,118 short of what we need to ramp up our efforts, and we won't raise enough without your gift right now:
Will you please click here to rush a donation of $10, or as much as you possibly can, to Sandy Hook Promise now? Your tax-deductible gift will help immediately expand our work to prevent future tragedies.

I often dream about the ways I could have stopped the shooter who murdered my sweet little Daniel at Sandy Hook Elementary. But then I wake up, and I remember that Daniel's not here. I didn't save him.
It's too late to save the precious lives we've already lost to gun violence, but it's not too late to take action right now to prevent future tragedies. Thank you for helping us do that.
Mark Barden (Daniel's father)
