Mothers Against Violence supports families that have lost a loved one to gun violence or overdoses. On Saturday night, they focused on the siblings of those who have died.
INDIANAPOLIS — A group of moms in Indianapolis are working to find solutions to gun violence in our city.The group offers support to families by being there at crime scenes, funerals and vigils. They're also there to offer a hug or warm meal."Because they’re hurting as well," said Debera Grene, who lost her grandson 10 years ago.Arnitra Torrence is Donita's daughter. She helped put the gathering together.
The ongoing violence in Indianapolis is also why Mothers Against Violence Healing Ministry is reaching out to young people. They say the solution starts with helping the younger generation find a purpose. "We’re absolutely trying. We try to reach one home at a time, one family at a time. It takes a while and sometimes even counseling or religion. However we can reach them is how we do it," Grene said.
