Here are some media stories about #DoGoodForBlaze and the tremendous support we have received from people from all corners of the world. These stories and the love we have received mean the world to us as our family works to heal.

Blaze Bernstein's parents speak out: 'Bring goodness to the world' in their son's name. Los Angeles Times article by Cindy Carcamo, published January 18, 2018.

Statement from family about recent media reports.

On this day of true sadness, we want to thank the media and people around the world for your support. We are heartbroken. As we lay Blaze to rest, we ask that communities around the world that were touched by Blaze’s life, help us keep his memory and loving spirit alive.

Blaze Bernstein was a brilliant teenager with a noticeably sharp sense of humor and a generous and gentle heart. He was often referred to as a “renaissance man” by his family. He loved cooking, music, art, performing, writing, and experiencing firsthand the beauty of all cultures of the world.

Writing gives me my voice, which is why my stories are in a constant state of flux. Even if I don’t change a word or a single letter, they move with me down corridors of memory, through seas of emotion, and into worlds both real and imaginary. As I change, they change, but even after days or months or years I can still find a version of myself (a time traveler from the past, present, or future) sitting there in the text and waiting to speak to me.
