"Having my favorite celebrity invite me to one of the best restaurants in New Orleans was a huge treat! Receiving her support for Donna's Law fuels my passion and builds my confidence going into the legislative session." -Katrina Brees

The victims' ages ranged from the late teens to their 60s.

Thank you, Amy!
My friend David Buckingham just told me about your organization. First of all I am so sorry that this happened and secondly - a huge shout out to you for standing up and advocating for the right thing. I went to Tulane, am very familiar with this tree and would love to send a small donation to you. I look forward to hearing back from you.
Very best -
