TRIGGER WARNINGS: intimate partner violence, death

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic or intimate partner violence, please reach out for help from the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 or by texting START to 88788.

For each victim I work to place flowers at their grave site, if their burial information is available. I do this by either driving there myself if I’m in the local area, or sending flowers via a delivery service. If you’d like to help offset the costs and in turn show your support for the victims, you can donate any amount through this link.
