"We didn’t just run a research project; we connected with families in a very real way, so much so that they reach out to us even a year later. To me this is a benefit that goes beyond the data that we’ve gathered and the way we’ve affected public policy. It speaks to the fact that we’ve made a meaningful, heartfelt connection with these families."
