Tuesday's Children is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to support families who have been affected by terrorism, military conflict or mass violence.

History

Tuesday's Children was founded on September 18, 2001 by citizens of Manhasset, NY following the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. The organization initially raised funds for the American Red Cross, which were used to support families affected by the tragedy.

Service populations

Tuesday's Children's service population includes:

  • 9/11 victims and responders
  • families of fallen post-9/11 military service members
  • post-9/11 military children and families who have lost a service member, regardless of cause of death, branch of service, status of duty, discharge status or geographic location
  • An original song, “Ballerina” to honor the memory of the lost Firefighters, Police Officers and professional ballerina lost in the 9/11 disaster. A CD recorded in memory of this tragic event. All profits were donated to Tuesday's Children.

Publications

The Legacy Letters, a book published by Tuesday's Children and edited by New York Times best-selling author Brian Curtis, features a compilation of a hundred letters of family members to their loved ones lost in 9/11. The ISBN is 0399537082.
