Fewer than half of victims have access to the support they need to cope with trauma.
It could never happen here — until it did. The mass shooting Jan. 23 of seven people in Half Moon Bay by a sole gunman seemed almost surreal. Many of us were frozen in disbelief, stunned by the carnage that took place and pained by the loss of so many innocent lives.
There have been more than 200 mass shootings across this country already this year. Think about it — more mass shootings than the number of days so far this year. Guns have become the leading cause of death among children and teens. It is the most acute and most deadly public health crisis of our time.
Let’s support the Coastside Victims Fund . It’s the only effort where 100% of the donations go to the victims or their families. Like other victim compensation funds that have been created, the CVF is modeled after best practices and the work of Ken Feinberg, special master of the U.S. government’s Sept. 11 Victim Compensation Fund. I have worked closely with him over the years.
