From Jenny Perez: A sibling’s perspective:

12/19/2025

A Message from Jennifer Perez: For those who may not know, grief and I have a long history together. We met 21 years ago when my oldest brother Anthony, passed, followed by several other close losses in the years since. Outside of my professional life, I’ve spent much of my personal life learning to navigate that changed landscape and supporting others who find themselves walking a similar path. I share this because one of the things I’ve learned is this: while our stories differ and our hardships may come in different shapes, at some point heartbreak finds all of us. But we are not defined by what we’ve lost; we are strengthened by the love we still carry, and by our capacity to find hope again.

As we move through this holiday season, I want to gently acknowledge the ache that can resurface this time of year. Grief often pulls up a chair at our tables, slips into our traditions, and lingers in the quiet spaces in between. May we send love and light to those we miss, in whatever form they now come. And may we keep our hearts open to the small signs and moments of comfort – because that is what love becomes when it transforms: something unseen, but always felt, all around us.

I wish you all a holiday filled with peace, joy, full bellies, and the kind of laughter that brings tears – and the kind of tears that somehow bring us back to laughter. Thank you all for the support to this organization and to our family.

ALF’s Mission will always be to promote safety and awareness of accidental CO poisoning in an effort to save lives. The organization also supports our sister nonprofits and that includes The Compassionate Friends, Miami Chapter, a support group for families grieving the loss of their child, grandchild or sibling. As a TCF member since the beginning of my grief journey, I announce that on November 19, 2023, the Miami Chapter was awarded a proclamation and “A Place of Remembrance” at Tropical park. We thank Commissioner Anthony Rodriguez for his voice and amazing support, Miami-Dade Parks and Recreation and all the TCF, Miami Chapter members for their collaboration, involvement, and embrace. The Chapter’s Vision is now a reality. 🤍👼🏼

It's National Poison Prevention Week!

Prevent poison from entering your home
National Poison Prevention Week raises awareness of poison prevention nationwide during the third full week of March every year. The week is an opportunity to highlight the dangers of poisonings for people of all ages and promote community involvement in poisoning prevention.

Did you know that carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a leading cause of poisoning in the United States and accounts for 95,000 CO poisonings annually? Health effects of CO poisoning range from fatigue, dizziness, and headaches to long-term neurological disabilities. These can be prevented.

Please protect yourself, your family, and your loved ones from carbon monoxide poisoning by downloading our white paper to stay updated on carbon monoxide poisoning prevention.

The purpose of the white paper is to provide background information on CO poisoning, detectors, and standards, and to serve as a springboard for further discussion and collaboration planning.

Kids and Car Safety is a nonprofit organization hard at work to ensure the safety of our loved ones in and around cars through the passage of laws, safety and awareness! Their work is priceless!!! We embrace and support them.

The PARK IT Act
Great news, due to the number of fatalities and injuries Kids and Car Safety documented, the PARK IT Act passed requiring a safety standard for an automatic shutoff in all new vehicles so that if a vehicle is inadvertently left running, the vehicle will turn itself off to prevent carbon monoxide tragedies. These types of tragedies are common with vehicles that have a keyless ignition feature.

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. I would like to share this video created by ShareCOSafety and to announce that Anthony’s Light is teaming up with ShareCOSafety as are other organizations (some shedding their individual organization names) for a unified message. We are a growing group of moms, dads, friends, and advocates who are working to promote carbon monoxide awareness. I hope that you will join us and grow the community of CO safety advocates.

Did someone say Carbon Monoxide? Is that CO or CO2? ...watch to find out!
