John,
My beautiful butterfly Dylan should have been finishing eighth grade this month.
He would have been looking forward to a long summer of beach trips with his big brother, Jake – and I would have been looking forward to spending each day with both of my boys. But that changed when Dylan was murdered in his first-grade classroom. Now, the summer is filled with painful reminders of all the joy that's been ripped from my life – and that my little boy is gone forever.
It's the worst feeling imaginable, and I don't want any other parents to feel this way.
That's why I work every day to protect children from gun violence – but right now, change isn't happening fast enough.
John, I know how deeply you care about this work, but even after Mark and Bill emailed, we're still falling short of our critical fiscal year-end goal with time running out before the midnight deadline. So please, before you go to sleep tonight, I want to personally ask: Will you donate as much as you can right now to help us ramp up our work in the coming year and protect more children from gun violence?
Before our fiscal year ends at midnight tonight, please click here to donate $10, or as much as you can, to Sandy Hook Promise to save more precious lives like Dylan.

Living with loss is like living in a bubble, with normal life going on outside. Some days the walls are thin, and it's easy to be a part of everything. Other days, it's hard to find the strength to try – the streams of Facebook and Instagram updates are little reminders of everything Dylan is missing.
But every day, I try to break through the bubble so I can protect more children like my beautiful butterfly from gun violence. And I couldn't do any of it without your support. Thank you so much.
With love,
Nicole Hockley (Dylan's mom)
