'It's great to be able to see the other mothers who need help and love and support to let them know they're not by themselves,' Ivery Pippens said. She lost her son Tre-ron last year.
INDIANAPOLIS — Smart Family Development honored mothers who have lost children to gun violence at a banquet the day before Mother's Day.
Moms who lost a child in the last year were invited to the event. There are so many that Harris had to turn some away. In 2021, 271 homicides were recorded in Indianapolis. Ivery Pippens' son Tre-ron was one of those killed. It's been 11 months, and she's learned to accept what happened. She hopes to help other mothers experiencing tragedy.
In 2022, homicides are slowing down, according to city officials, but that are still 81 recorded so far. But this is not a night to dwell on the grim numbers or to fret about what's happening on the streets.
