We Stand With You! #OrlandoUnited
Our hearts broke when we found out and our tears fell. We are one family so even though we haven't met we feel the lost of our family. We as a community will help care for the families and friends you left behind so you can rest in peace our brothers and sisters. You have not had a long life but we will never forget you. We will never let the hate take over because Love is stronger. To all our family still fighting for your lives, know that we are sending our thoughts of healing to you. Your community is here. If you need anything ask, and we will provide. To the families, know the same is true for you. We will provide what is needed to help you get through this. Know you are not alone. From NY to California, you have a family that knows all too well how to heal and fight on your side. -Founder of Safe Space America, Minister Danielle Barbour

Statement from Pulse
Like everyone in the country, I am devastated about the horrific events that have taken place today. Pulse, and the men and women who work there, have been my family for nearly 15 years. From the beginning, Pulse has served as a place of love and acceptance for the LGBTQ community. I want to express my profound sadness and condolences to all who have lost loved ones. Please know that my grief and heart are with you. – Barbara Poma, Owner
