M.O.M. Kidz is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization for mothers (and families) who have lost a child to violence. We exist to provide support to grieving families who are currently experiencing the effects of losing a child to violence, and those that have lost a child to violence in the past.
| M.O.M. Services | Description of Service |
|---|---|
| Funeral Arrangement Support | We offer support and assistance with funeral arrangements. |
| Advocate for Crime Victim's Compensation | We assist families with completing their application for services and compensation through the state compensation program. |
| Life Groups (Not Grief Sessions) | We bring our M.O.M.s together to celebrate the life of their child. We create opportunities that uplift and provide positive remembrance of loved ones, celebrating their life, rather than sharing stories of overwhelming grief. |
| Crime Prevention Efforts | Interface with schools through the DAEP programs to provide violence awaeness and prevention measures along with showing students the complete impact of violent acts. Education on violence could save lives in the future. |
| Memorial Gifts for M.O.M.s | We help families memorialize their child by giving alternative gifts other than flowers that only last for little over a week. We provide the M.O.M. gift basket to our M.O.M.s so that they will have a lasting, tangible artifact that will bring them and others memories for a lifetime. |
| Volunteer Efforts | Our M.O.M.s vounteers will assist at community events as they spread awareness about gun violence and publicize our efforts. |
| Memorial Assistance | We provide assistance with the purchase of memorials such as headstones. |
