HARTFORD, Conn. — For many families, Mother's Day serves as a painful reminder that their loved one is no longer with them. To show those mothers support, The YWCA Hartford Region hosted a vigil Saturday evening.
"To be able to honor and recognize not only the contributions of mothers historically as well as during present day is to really honor and recognize the fact that mothers deserve to have the attention they often times don't get," said Andrew Woods, executive director of Hartford Communities That Care.
Darlene Childs is one of the mothers who sadly lost her son, Chase Hernandez to violence.
