Grown-up children of 9/11 victims send messages of hope to the people of Paris in heart-wrenching video

  • In the clip, four people talk about losing their fathers in the World Trade Center attacks in 2001
  • Juliette Candela, 21, Francesca Picerno, 23, Terrease Aiken, 22, and Joseph Palombo, 26, were all kids at the time of the tragedy
  • They tell the loved ones of those who were killed in Paris on November 13 not to stop living their lives
  • They also discuss what it’s like to lose a parent in such a public way, particularly when they were murdered

The children of those who died in the September 11 terrorist attacks have a unique perspective on the recent attacks in Paris, and now a few of them have shared some kind and understanding words with the citizens of the City of Light.

In a video by Vox, four children of 9/11 victims have recorded a message for the people of Paris, explaining how they’ve moved on after their own painful losses and offering words of encouragement.

Each of the speakers was quite young at the time of the attack. Now adults, they’ve had fourteen years to come to terms with what happened to their fathers – and they all urge those who saw a loved one die on November 13 not to stop living their own lives.

The Red Pencil International NEW 2015

The Red Pencil’s mission is to bring the benefits of arts therapy to children, adults, families, and their caregivers, as a pathway to balance and wellbeing, with a special attention to those facing overwhelming life circonstances such as natural disasters conflict zones and long-term hospitalizations.

It is the core mission of The Red Pencil to bring the power of the Arts to everyone with a special focus on Arts Therapy.

Arts Therapy promotes expression, healing and well-being through the creative process of arts-making.

Through art, music, dance and drama, Arts Therapy reaches the depths of our being where words are simply inadequate or not enough.

Be part of The Red Pencil’s journey today as we expand our humanitarian missions and projects to more than 20 (and counting) countries around the world.

Since 2012, The Red Pencil has embarked on various humanitarian missions in Asia and now in Europe and the Middle East. The Art Therapy Response Teams (ART) consists of art, music and dance therapists from all over the world, who collaborate with international organisations to attend to those facing natural disasters, conflict zones and overwhelming situations.

ART had its maiden trip to Cambodia in September 2012, attending to beneficiaries at a public hospital. Thereafter, the humanitarian missions expanded to assist beneficiaries who had survived but was nevertheless traumatized by natural disasters such as the Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, Sichuan earthquake in China and the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan. Currently, ART further extends its help to beneficiaries who have suffered from domestic violence, human trafficking and other forms of abuse that are prevalent in minority or underprivileged groups.
