There's hope. Attended a We Day event on Wednesday, met the most remarkable woman...

She chairs "Free The Children" which conducts "We Day", and other organizations and is a UC Santa Barbara trustee.

She was a speaker and later that day I ran into her and was able to chat, I tear up thinking about her.

I was not able to find it to share but am still looking. For now I have these few things to share, however:
