KARA is an incredible organization and Mike's passion shines. I feel grateful to have had the chance to work on a project for such an integral organization focusing on something that I also feel very passionately about. I am hopeful that this project will be of use to KARA for a long time, and that we can continue to work together to create a world where children are safe, loved, and don't enter adulthood needing to heal from their childhood. Here's to a more beautiful, empathetic, and kind world.
