John* and Jane* lost their mother due to a homicide from their father. They have essentially now lost both parents and they are being raised by their grandmother. It has been a hard adjustment for them both as they are still not sure why their father did what he did. And they may never know.

John has found some joy in sports, especially soccer, and he's now a Utah Mammoth fan. Jane loves competing in gymnastics and cheer.

This Giving Tuesday, Utah Homicide Survivors is launching a heartfelt campaign to bring holiday joy to children who have experienced unimaginable loss—the loss of a parent to homicide.

The holidays can be a challenging time for these families, but with your support, we can bring hope and smiles to their faces. Our goal is to raise $5,000 to provide Christmas presents for 30 children, ensuring they feel loved and remembered during this special season.

Every dollar you give will go directly toward gifts for these resilient children, letting them know they are not alone.

$25 provides a toy or book.

$50 funds a special gift to make a child’s holiday brighter.

$100 supports an entire gift package for a child.

Let’s make this holiday season a little brighter for these families. Will you join us?

Together, we can honor the memory of their loved ones by bringing light and love to their lives. Thank you for your generosity and compassion.

Make a Contribution Today!

Over 200 children are impacted by the homicide of their parents every year. Help us provide them with some joy during the toughest time of their lives.

All funds raised will go to providing Christmas presents and services to children and families of homicide victims.

One random donor will get two free tickets to a future Utah Mammoth Game!
