πŸŽ‰πŸ’š HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY TO CHILDREN OF HOMICIDE VICTIMS SUPPORT GROUP! πŸ’šπŸŽ‰

8 YEARS OF SERVICE. 8 YEARS OF LOVE. 8 YEARS OF SHOWING UP FOR KANSAS CITY FAMILIES.

Today, our hearts are filled with gratitude.

Eight years ago, Children of Homicide Victims Support Group began with one purpose: to create a community where children and families impacted by homicide could receive love, hope, support, resources, and opportunities to heal.

For eight years, we have stood beside Kansas City families through some of life's most difficult moments. We've provided resources, created safe spaces, honored loved ones, celebrated our children, built community, and reminded families that they do not have to walk this journey alone.

When we look back at these photos, we see more than events. We see children growing up, families finding community, volunteers giving their hearts, partnerships being formed, smiles returning, memories being created, and lives being honored.

We see the reason we continue. πŸ’š

β€œEight years ago, we made a commitment to show up for families impacted by homicide. Today, that commitment is stronger than ever. Every child we've hugged, every family we've supported, every life we've honored, and every person who has stood beside this organization is part of our story. These eight years belong to our families and the Kansas City community. As long as families need love, hope, resources, and support, we will continue to show up.” β€” Executive Director

To our families β€” thank you for trusting us.
To our children β€” you are the heart of our mission.
To our volunteers β€” thank you for serving with love.
To our donors, sponsors, and partners β€” thank you for believing in this work.
And to Kansas City β€” thank you for standing with us. πŸ’š

There are names behind this mission. There are stories behind this mission. There are families behind this mission.

And THAT is why we keep going.

πŸŽ‚ HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY, COHV!

8 YEARS STRONG. ONE MISSION. COUNTLESS LIVES IMPACTED. AND WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED. πŸ’š
