• Comfort hearts, families, fathers, mothers, siblings and all those grieving;

We will be putting on concerts in predetermined places throughout Florida, such as schools, churches, hospitals and public places.

During the concerts, we will bring comfort and peace to those who have lost their loved ones. In addition to singing really deep, touching songs, we will also talk about our personal experienceand what we have been doing to find strength to fight the pain. We will put on videos of our daughter Susan and of other children* who left us too early;

We will also provide information and statistics on child drowning to raise people’s awareness. Moreover, we will talk about several actions that can be taken to prevent accidents and reduce the rates.

Our Actions: Social

OBJECTIVE: Make as many people as possible aware about the need for prevention.

• Give informative lectures in school, hospitals and public agencies;
• Promote the project in public tolls, traffic lights and events through informative folders;
• Visit counties and cities affected in order to lower incidence of child drowning.

As we mentioned, a child weighing up to 65 pounds may drown in only 30 seconds, and even if they do not die, they may have irreversible aftereffects due to drowning. Our aim is to avoid the issue through prevention, warning people about child’s vulnerability and pointing out that adults are responsible for ensuring all safety requirements.

Then, we will provide as many information as possible on safety rules and other tips and measures of prevention.
