TUCSON, Ariz. — A Tucson mother who lost her daughter to domestic violence now runs a nonprofit to honor her and help others. She’s looking to make a difference across the entire state.Her ex-boyfriend was sentenced to 20 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to domestic violence and second degree murder.
“Me and him, we’re like, ‘No. We’re gonna go in these neighborhoods and make a difference…’” said April. “We would… go in houses where the abuser was at, and help them pack up and help them leave.” “We do peer support, because there are survivors out there that aren’t able to leave the people that are hurting them,” April explained. “We are there for them. I check up on them every day.
Justice for Rosaura is now partnering with groups in the community, like the Emerge Center Against Domestic Abuse.
