<div>As my birthday approaches, I find myself reflecting back on all the things that have happened in the last year, and all the things I want to see change in the future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Birthdays used to involve celebrations with my family.  My wife Jen and my amazing kids Jesse and Jaime would always make a big deal.  Not anymore. Almost 5 years ago, everything changed when my daughter, Jaime, was murdered in the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas in 2018. For the past few years, I simply could not celebrate. However, this year and going forward, I plan to celebrate again and to do so in ways that include honoring the memory of my daughter Jaime and her love of her dogs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After Jaime was murdered, it was our family dogs Charli and Cooper that helped our family to heal. In fact, at the time of the shooting Cooper was only four months old. Knowing how much our dogs meant to us, and to Jaime, has us taking on a new mission.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, my wife and I started a new initiative called PAWS OF LOVE, in partnership with Moss Creek Goldendoodles, to help support families like ours who have been directly affected by gun violence. Since our dogs played such a big role in Jaime's life and in our healing process, this program will pair families with furry friends to make indelible paw prints, during what will be one of the most difficult times of their lives. In addition to the dogs, we will also provide everything that is needed for the first year with the new dog.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year, my only birthday wish is that you help support PAWS OF LOVE and DONATE TODAY.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
