I culled this article from Huffington post because of the kind of work i do with respect to fighting gun violence around the globe--#Mskemi
This Mother’s Day, Nardyne Jefferies is one of the Children’s Defense Fund’s “Faces of Courage.” They are part of a club no mother ever wants to join. Most, like Nardyne, have lost children to gun violence. Nardyne’s beautiful daughter Brishell was only 16 when she was killed by bullets from an AK-47 in a drive-by shooting. Others have had spouses or other family members killed or injured by guns or been victims of gun violence themselves and have struggled to help their families deal with the trauma gun violence leaves behind. The campaign is focused on honoring gun violence victims and their families -- and taking action so fewer mothers who are celebrating Mother’s Day this weekend will be mourning their own children next year and in years to come.
