Gun Violence Survivors Foundation

About Gun Violence Survivors Foundation

OUR MISSION: Gun Violence Survivors Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals affected by gun violence in America. A bullet does not discriminate, does not have its own agenda, and impacts innocent people regardless of race, gender, or class. Gun violence is an all-too prevalent subject that appears in news outlets, social media, and blogs on a daily basis. Unfortunately, supporting the needs of gun violence survivors on their journeys of healing is seldom heard over the noise of heated debates about gun control legislation in America. The GVS Foundation exists to honor and support survivors of gun violence in America. Gun violence in United States is ever-present and shows no prejudice; it harms people from all walks of life, and it is impossible to tell who may fall victim to its heinous prowess. Survivors often need mental health care, assistance with funeral expenses and household support. And that’s just the start. Every survivor’s needs are unique. Individuals are like snowflakes in relation to the grieving process; no two people grieve and cope with their emotions the same. They have already lost so much. The GVS Foundation would like to introduce some of these brave survivors as well as families who have tragically lost loved ones to random and senseless acts of gun violence. In solidarity, the hope is that other survivors feel a neutral space to share their stories and continue the process of healing. Let’s help them make those first necessary steps to get back on the road to recovery. I hope you’ll join us in our mission to make a difference.
