PUBLIC RESPONSE
ABOUT THE DATING VIOLENCE PROGRAM


Dear Mr. Santoro, I wanted to express my thanks to you for presenting your Program to the students and staff at Morton College. In my ten years of booking lectures at the college, I have never seen such a moving and heartfelt program. Your message will positively affect our students for a long time to come. It may have also changed some lives.  (Louise Gasper Czuba, Coordinator of Student Activities)


     Dear Tom, you touched the hearts of everyone that came to hear you speak; In fact, students are still talking about it. Teachers have actually thanked me for bringing you to our school. (Marcia Kochan, Teacher at Stevenson High School)


     Tom, you said if you could touch one life it was worth coming to different schools, you touched my life, thanks. (Student-Fremd High School)


    The kids at the snowball hung on to every word, many cried tears of sadness, they all left knowing they learned about Dating Violence.  (Annice Rosenthal-Response Center)


    Tom, you really helped a lot of students to open up. We had great discussions the following days. I hope to see you again. Thank you for your bravery and honesty. You have touched my life forever. (Sandy Nowarita-Teacher_Loyola Academy)


 I think that giving speeches and giving your daughter’s message of peace is such a gift, you are a man to be treasured.  Thank you for teaching me so much, you are recognized in my mind as a true mentor.  God bless you. (Margot Robin, New Trier High School)


Tom’s speech not only touched my heart but changed me forever, because through his speech I had the pleasure of meeting a beautiful person, LISA.  Somehow I now want to be part of the great mission that Tom has started.  Let’s stop violence! (Fadia Tamer, Student)

“Having known Tom before and after the tragic death of his beloved Lisa, I have had the opportunity to watch his presentation evolve over the years.  Tom is a man of great sincerity and purpose, and his message has tremendous impact on young people and parents alike.  It is a message that must be heard.  Both young men and women are greatly touched by his words, and some lives, as indicated by the letters he as received, have been forever changed.  

Tom has the power to save lives by his direct and simple message of respect and trust.  Some young people mention how they never though about this before … that no one ever talked to them about what is a healthy relationship and which ones carry danger signs.  This is indeed a sad reality that Tom readily addresses. 

Every College and High School student should hear him, as well as every parent.  No one should ever have to lose a daughter or a son to such tragic circumstances.” (Kathy Gurney,Dean of Students, Student Advisor,Nazareth Academy High School )
