Thank you, Hillary.
Here is the information regarding a Motherwomen event that is evolving:
MotherWoman
With such heavy hearts…..We at MotherWoman are stricken with grief and outrage by the unspeakable tragedy last Friday morning. No mother should ever have to endure this anguish and pain and yet so close to us so many are. How to respond? How to send love?
Please join us on FRIDAY DEC 21st for a community gathering to
grieve, sing, be together, and send our love, solidarity and support to the moms in CT who have been in hearts since last Friday. We will send details about where (probably Northampton) and when (probably in the morning) as soon as we find out.
If you would like to help out, please let us know. Peace.
.
Thank you, Susan.
