While the holidays are often filled with laughter, lights and love, for many families – especially those who have lost loved ones to gun violence – this time of year can also bring deep sadness.
Every week, a small group of mothers gather to do something remarkable: they show up for one another.
They call it healing through service.
Each mother has faced the unimaginable — losing a child. Together, they find comfort in shared stories and strength in community.
