How We Help Families Transform Grief to Resilience
Community Awareness
Gun violence affects everyone. The more our community understands the impact, the more seen and heard victims' families feel as they seek justice.
Advocacy & Education
We help families understand their rights and connect them with available resources so they can navigate the legal system more effectively.
Community & Direct Support
Through regular gatherings and tangible resources like counseling and financial support, we help families feel heard and supported in a safe space.
Our passion for this work
was born out of grief.
Our founder, Felecia Marshall lost her daughter Lexi to a senseless murder in 2017. She knows what its like to feel powerless and alone under the trauma and grief of loss.
​
In God's grace, He is redeeming her story. Grant Me Justice is a calling as much as it is a mission to serve those whose lives are affected by homicide.
Real Survivors. Real Impact.
