SAFER POOLS. SAFER KIDS.
Abbey's Hope airs a powerful public service announcement to prevent child drownings and encourage active supervision in and around water.
ABBEY'S STORY
In 2008, six-year-old Abbey Taylor died from injuries she received from an improperly maintained wading pool drain. Her hope was that no child would again suffer or die as the result of a preventable entrapment. The Abbey's Hope Charitable Foundation works tirelessly on her behalf.
