Through Light The Way, Inc., we’re turning heartbreak into hope… one life jacket, one conversation, and one wagging tail at a time. Because no family should ever have to feel the silence that follows the storm.<p

takes seconds for tragedy to strike, but only a moment to prevent it. A simple act, putting on a life jacket, can mean the difference between heartbreak and coming home. That’s why we’re on a mission to help kids, families, and even pets see safety not as a rule, but as a way to protect the ones they love most.<p

When she “puts hers on,” little hands follow, and suddenly, something as serious as water safety becomes something beautifully simple.<p style="font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;margin:0px;min-height:20.3px;line-height:normal;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%"> <p style="font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;margin:0px;line-height:normal;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Bay also comforts those who need her the most, children learning about loss, families healing, seniors seeking companionship.
