On Tisha B’Av, I learned about Charlotte A”H’s story, and I was so deeply moved by her life and by the impact she had at such a young age.

Her story inspired me to do something I had been struggling to do the last few months. There was a coworker I had not gotten along with, and by the time she left the place where we worked, we were no longer really on speaking terms.

On Tisha B’Av, I decided to reach out to her. I wrote a text message, but I didn’t have the courage to press “send” at the moment. Instead, I saved it in my notes, in Charlotte A”H’s memory, and told myself to send it before Rosh Hashanah.

Well, the day came and I worked up the courage and finally sent the message that had been sitting in my notes.

Shalom for Charlotte is something so special and remarkable. It is incredible to see the impact of such a young girl continuing to inspire people to bring more peace, kindness, and connection into the world.

Wishing your family a Ktiva Chatima Tova, and a healthy, happy, safe, and sweet new year. May Charlotte’s impact on the world continue to grow and grow each day, and may her memory always be a blessing.
