All profits from sales to be donated to a GoFundMe campaign benefiting victims and their families.

All the creators have graciously volunteered their time and talent to help bring some sense to this senseless act and, in the process, raise money for the survivors and their families. The book will include a variety of perspectives with key themes exploring gun violence, common sense gun control, value of a compassionate society, mental health stigmatization, aftermath of tragedy and how individuals and communities persevere, and an appreciation of Las Vegas as a vibrant community. Where We Live also features stories from local writers and artists as they relate their personal experiences and reactions to this tragedy.
