Milan says her main message is love.

"I love everybody. I'm a God-fearing woman and I believe that everybody should be loved," she said. "None of this was done for the fame or for the attention, it was all done out of the kindness of our hearts to show that these things happen in America and they shouldn't go unnoticed."
