It's been nearly two years since 10-year old Isabella "Izzy" Tichenor committed suicide after an unrelenting battle with bullying and harassment.
After her death, Izzy's mother vowed "to make Izzy’s life matter by speaking out about bullying, racism and the importance of understanding autism so that no other parent has to suffer like she has." - WGNTV/AP News
It is our hope that Izzy's mother receives the platform she needs to defend the lives of chidren that are bullied.
