John,

This week is usually one that many of us spend with the people we love most. Thanksgiving looks very different for many of us this year, but even amidst the hardship, illness, and anxiety of this year, we are pausing to recognize everything for which we’re truly grateful.

We are incredibly thankful for you, the community of child defenders who drive and support our work every day. We’re grateful for hugs that we no longer take for granted, closeness now shared over FaceTime and Zoom, and children who remind us every day what resilience looks like.

Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy Thanksgiving!

Your friends at the Children’s Defense Fund
