Months ago, I heard about Mollie's story on my local news (New York City) but haven't been able to forget about my pledge to this cause in honor of this amazing young lady and the family who raised her. My thoughts and prayers continue.

I will hold my soon-fo-be 19 year old daughter extra close in honor of Mollie while giving her wings to appreciate life and the arts she so loved.
