With Deepest Sympathy
We are saddened to learn of Gizmo’s passing.
Gizmo was much more than a beloved dog. He was a source of comfort, joy and hope for countless children and families. Through his gentle spirit and important work promoting children’s mental health, he touched lives across Connecticut and beyond.
His legacy will continue far into the future through the smiles he inspired, the conversations he started, the difference he made in helping young people feel seen, supported and understood and through Gizmo’s Pawsome Guide to Mental Health, which will continue to educate, encourage and support children and families for years to come.
Please know that our thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time. We are grateful for the opportunity to have partnered with Gizmo and witnessed the extraordinary impact he had on so many lives.
With heartfelt sympathy and gratitude,
Staff at United Way of Connecticut
Thank you, Gizmo,
for the love, comfort, and hope
you shared with so many.
