Sandy Hook Elementary - Victims Relief Fund set up by former SHS student and Lanza family neighbor

Sandy Hook Elementary - Victims Relief Fund set up by former SHS student and Lanza family neighbor

Hi everyone,

My name is Ryan Kraft, and I've set up a relief fund for those affected by the tragic events of December 14th, 2012. As a former Sandy Hook Elementary student and a long-time neighbor of the Lanza family, I felt compelled to create some mechanism for people to try to help heal this community.

The funds are directed to the school's PTSA organization. Please help in any way you can.

Here are some ideas that have come in on how to use the funds:

1) Counseling for the survivors (children and families)

2) Funeral expenses for affected families

3) Scholarship fund supporting students at Sandy Hook Elementary

 

So far we've raised nearly $27,000 in just one day. If you can help in any way, please do.

 

Thank you,

 

Ryan Kraft
