Fostering collective healing and strengthening community care.

Gun violence is not just a matter of policy; it’s a personal and collective crisis that leaves lasting emotional, psychological, and communal scars. We support survivors and young people through holistic wellness initiatives that foster healing, rebuild trust, and create intentional spaces for joy, connection, and restoration.
