After the tragic loss of Israel Aragon Jr., we decided that while it was easiest to sit at home and let grief overcome our every breath, it would be more healing to figure out a way to continue to honor his life, his dreams, his goals. It was then that we decided to launch a foundation in his honor that focuses on supporting others, who like us, have been affected by the never ending gun violence in the city. While our grieving process continues, we have found that honoring Israel, by giving back and creating memories with others and their loved ones has become completely rewarding. In the midst of so much tragedy we have found a way to share love, hope, & spread peace while at the same time raising awareness about how gun violence affects communities and destroys entire families.
