Dear All:
Since September 4, 2021, when Aiden was killed, we have struggled to lessen our grief. We have accepted that we will grieve for the rest of our lives. We loved our son so much that we have no room for anger in our hearts.
From grief comes opportunity to support others. In an effort to manage our profound sadness and to fill the emptiness we feel in our hearts, we channel our energy in positive ways. This has led us to find ways to help other parents who are grieving. We are supporting MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), the nation's largest non-profit working to end both drunk and drugged driving.
- Walk Like MADD. We have set up Team AIDEN TAI GOSSAGE for the upcoming SoCal Walk Like MADD scheduled November 6, 2021 (7:00am); Granada Beach (5000 E. Ocean Blvd.), Long Beach, CA. You can register to walk.
- MADD Fundraiser. We have set up Team AIDEN TAI GOSSAGE fundraising with the goal of $16,000. Aiden was 16 when he was killed. If 1,000 people each donate $16, we will reach this goal. 100% of funds go to MADD. Greg, I, and our family have donated over $2,000 to MADD.

This is all we can think of doing at this time to ease our pain. Thank you for your support, kindness, and compassion.
--Lily, Greg, and Luke Gossage (Aiden's mom, dad, and brother)
