In March of 2007, my sister who was my best friend, was shot and killed by an ex-boyfriend, who then shot and killed himself. She was a beautiful, vibrant, 27 year old outstanding citizen of Chicago who loved to give back to her community and help others. That is what we intend to do with this organization - help others. Help others who have been victims of domestic violence; help family members who have lost loved ones to domestic violence; help others get out of violent relationships and help others become more aware of this epidemic and ultimately help stop domestic violence!
