"We hate them."

This is the most common feeling of children towards

the terrorists.

“It is the children that suffer the most. Tikvah means hope and hope is represented by the children.”

- Eli Wiesel

“It still feels like September 12th.”

- Scott Pelley (CBS) and other recovery groups help the children

to try and move on with their lives.

“They’re holding on in every way they can. Once they lost their parents to terror, now they’re loosing them to time, memories of their loved ones are beginning to fade.”

- ABC News

“They find comfort in the company of other kids. Everybody knows how everybody else feels. Like they know what they’re going through.”

- Jennifer Angelini 60 Minutes

MEMORIALS

MEMORIALS

Our view.

What the terrorists did is tragic. The thought of losing a mother or father is unimaginable to us. We feel for the children that have had to go through such grief and suffering at so young of an age. We will always keep the affected children and their families in our prayers.
