The goal of the project is to shatter the silence that has smothered families, giving them truth, demanding justice, and driving awareness where it has been ignored too long.
This project was formed to work toward a world where no family suffers in silence, where truth cannot be buried, and where justice is no longer delayed or denied to innocent parents.
ReKindle exists to ensure families in Canada do not walk this road alone.
