Day 2

Today was not a good day. Today I woke to find that at least 58 people were murdered and over 500 more injured by a gunman in Las Vegas.

This project is about creating good days. I don't think there's anything I can do to make today a good day. I had other plans for today, but for me, today needs a little something extra. Today needs to be this.

I made two donations today. The first was to the Las Vegas Victims' Fund. According to the GoFundMe page set up by the Clark County NV Commission Chair, "Funds will be used to provide relief and financial support to the victims and families of the horrific Las Vegas mass shooting​."


The second was to Volunteers in Medicine of Southern Nevada, which provides mental and physical health care to people who don't have access to it otherwise.
