My whole life changed on May 5, 2014, when my son, Darrell Lynch, was murdered in front of me over a parking incident. My career changed from being a substance abuse counselor to becoming a LIFE Camps Inc. employee, a mother who comforts other families affected by gun violence and helping them live their NEW LIFE without their loved ones.
Through the education I received from the New School and Crisis Management, I now understand trauma and grief. I now understand that the many lives taken from just my community alone is not the norm and it is very important for CHANGE.
