OneFamily and the Bulgaria terror attack

“The trauma is so much worse than the attack itself, my heart aches … I know that the days, months, and years ahead can be overwhelmingly hard… we are all here for you.” (written by a victim of terror)

A terror attack lasts a moment. Its devastating effects last a lifetime.

OneFamily has already begun to connect and to work with the victims and their families. We are there for them as long as they need us, however they need us, whenever they need us. They are now a part of our Family.
