Organically Gorgeous By Lavelle Velez

On this 25th anniversary of 9/11, we honor the heroic men and women who risked their lives to save others and remember all of those who lost their lives that tragic day. Fred Rogers of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood once shared a thoughtful approach for comforting children and instilling a sense of hope in them in the face of such incomprehensible events:

"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of 'disaster,' I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world." -- Fred Rogers

Please take a moment to thank helpers in your community today.

To give children and teens -- who were all born after 9/11 -- a better appreciation of this day and its historical significance, you can find many reading recommendations in our blog post "We Remember" at https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=34372
