WHY:
CO alarms are being distributed in memory of Lindsey Kesling. “Losing a child for any reason breaks a parent's heart, but losing them to something that could have been prevented makes the loss so much heavier to bear,” said Dot Kesling, Lindsey’s mother. She founded the LOK Foundation to raise awareness about carbon monoxide poisoning and how to prevent it.
