Yvonne Fedderson; death resolution

AI Summary

This resolution, originating from the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona, expresses profound sympathy to the family, loved ones, and admirers of Yvonne Glee Lime Fedderson, who passed away at the age of 90, and honors the immeasurable impact of her life. Yvonne Fedderson, a former actress, dedicated her life to protecting children globally, co-founding Childhelp, a humanitarian organization that has assisted over 14 million children and families through various programs. Her work included establishing orphanages, schools, and medical facilities, coordinating rescue efforts, pioneering residential treatment for abused children, and creating the first national 24-hour child abuse hotline, which later expanded to include text and chat services. She also established Children's Advocacy Centers, including mobile units, to provide a safe and supportive environment for children, and developed evidence-based prevention education programs. Her extraordinary leadership earned her international recognition, including nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize, and her legacy is celebrated for transforming child welfare in the United States and worldwide. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to transmit copies of this resolution to Yvonne Fedderson's family and to Childhelp.
