A Holistic Approach to Gun Violence Recovery

Our journey is deeply rooted in the personal loss experienced by our founder, who tragically lost their son to gun violence and their mother to cancer. This profound grief ignited a passion to help other families facing similar heartbreak and challenges. Inspired by the legacy of their mother’s strength and resilience, the foundation was born from Last Heartbeat, a tribute to her enduring impact.

With over 20 years of experience in social services and advocacy, our founder has channeled their pain into a mission to create safe, resilient communities. Our goal is not just to offer immediate relief but to empower individuals and families to heal, grow, and rebuild their lives in a supportive environment.

Guided by compassion, empathy, and a commitment to social justice, we honor the memory of our founder’s loved ones by providing services that address the critical needs of those affected by gun violence and other life-altering challenges. Our work is about more than offering support—it’s about creating a lasting legacy of hope. Through education, housing, and trauma-informed care, we strive to build a safer, brighter future where every heartbeat matters, and every individual has the chance for a better tomorrow.
