It's still really, really hard for me to do this work, John.

Almost eight years later, I'm always thinking about my beautiful butterfly Dylan.

I rarely burst into tears, but I often find tears falling without realizing I've started to cry. There's a feeling of incredible sadness for me – even as we gain momentum, even as we stop more school shootings – because no matter what I do nor how many lives are saved in Dylan's name, I will never get him back. The hole in my heart can never be filled.

But it's my responsibility now to make sure no other parent has to live with the ever-present pain of losing a child to gun violence – a heart that never stops bleeding.

That's why I need your help tonight. We only have a few hours left to secure every dollar of our $100,000 match – and we're still short. So please, before you go to sleep, can I count on you to donate to have your gift doubled – to give my beautiful butterfly Dylan a legacy and protect more children from gun violence?

Please, before this match expires, give $10, or as much as you can, to Sandy Hook Promise. Every dollar you give before midnight will be doubled to protect more precious lives.

I often think of the different choices I could have made that might have saved my baby boy. I can't go back and choose differently, but you can make a choice now that prevents gun violence from tearing other families apart.

Thank you so much for your support – it truly means the world to me.

With love,

Nicole Hockley (Dylan's mom)
