Dear Jeffrey,

= know you have a lot on your plate while you continue with your philanthrop=c work; in a significantly smaller way, I remain similarly busy.

This past June, Second Respons='s trauma team traveled to Nepal after the earthquakes to help thou=ands of children through our signature PLAYshops, which over time mitigate t=e long term effects of post-traumatic stress through productive play. After=a long day of PLAYshops at an orphanage near Kathmandu, the orphanage*=99s director Suresh climbed on the roof to observe the children from afar.&=bsp; Suresh pointed out one girl, indicating she hadn't smiled=since the earthquake; she was laughing and splashing in the rainwater casca=ing off the roof, as Suresh said to our clinical director, "What yo= are doing is invaluable emotional medicine — thank you so much for=coming here."

Two weeks ago, I returned from Croatia where I spent time tra=ning Red Cross workers in the refugee camp in Opacovac near the Hungarian b=rder. It was incredibly challenging -- perhaps the hardest things l'=e done since launching Second Response ten years ago — but I know we helped.

Your generous $2=,000 donation last year was part of the reason we were able to deliver care=in Nepal and help</=pan> to make it possible f=r us to train hundreds in the US and abroad in our protocols. Our seven-mem=er team spent almost two months on the ground in Nepal with teachers and pa=ents in order to build local capacity. Unfortunately, over the past 2 decad=s there has been an 80% increase in climate-related disasters and more chil=ren

are likely to experience traumatic events with increasing frequency.&nb=p; Man-made disasters such as wars and shootings are also threatening t=e mental health and vitality of millions of children. We need to expand our=reach exponentially to help to reduce the instances of PT50 in many more ch=ldren touched by disaster. We can only do this with your continu=d support.

As well as dispatching teams after disasters strike, Sec=nd Response continues to pre-emptively train first responders, educators, p=rents, and caregivers in our PLAYshop methodology, building capacity in our=communities to deal with the impact of post-traumatic stress on children be=ore the next event. Just this month we will present trainings for twenty-=ive therapists at t=e Charlotte Hungerford Hospital Center for Youth and Families Outpatient Tr=atment Services and a few days later for first responders and e=ucators at Northwestern Connecticut Community College who are part of the l=cal Community Emergency Response Team. The following week, we'=l give another PLAYshop training at Western Connecticut State University for a crisis team of vo=unteer helping professionals who work in 12 school districts. The group is c=mprised of several professors as well as school counselors, psychologists, a=d social workers from the Danbury area. (Sandy Hook is 2 miles away.)&=bsp;All of these providers are confirmation of the significant impac= we make in our own backyard.

In 2016 we will conduct extensive training i= PLAYshop protocols for disaster relief agencies, government health agencie=, and schools, preparing them to organize and deliver effective PLAYshops a= a standard component of their disaster response protocol. To achieve 18-20=training programs in 2016 and retain reserves for disaster relief we are em=arking on a $510,000 fundraising campaign.

=p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 9pt;">l am extremely grateful for your part=ership in sharing our vision to help children around the world who face tra=matic events, and now we need your continued support to greatly expand our r=ach through training others. I am indefatigable in my effort to help these k=ds and feel unabashed in asking you for a $50,000 gift this year to jump-st=rt our campaign. For the record, I have never paid myself one cent for the w=rk I've done here over the past decade. If you're open to d=scussing our progress or learning more, I'd welcome an opportunity t= talk again. We've come a long way and are truly making a differenc=.

Warm regards,
