Kyle Kashuv, a survivor from the Parkland, Florida school massacre spent time with lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
He was able to engage on all sides of the aisle to discuss ideas and solutions. (VIDEO BELOW)
Kyle, who is trying to help students, created an app called ‘The Reach Out App’ that helps students in crisis by putting them in contact with other students who can provide emotional support.
While Kyle was in D.C., he got the gift of a lifetime! A special meeting was set up and arranged for Kyle at the White House with the First Lady to show her his app.
Without hesitation, the First Lady who loves children, met with Kyle to hear his message and help.

“Heartened to see children affected by tragedy using their voices to try and create change. Wonderful to meet and speak with Stoneman Douglas High School student @KyleKashuv today at the @WhiteHouse. His message of unity inspires us all! #MSDStrong”
