Melissa will never forget the night she got a knock at the door and learned her daughter was the victim of violence. While she rushed to TiAnna’s side in the hospital and focused on her daughter’s physical health and healing, a team jumped in to help with everything else. Housing, food, safety, mental health, and more — those are all the areas our Project Ujima team can help families with after violence. And that help isn’t just for the victims, but for the entire family.
Hear Melissa and TiAnna’s story, and how our Project Ujima team at Children’s Wisconsin helped their family move from pain to peace.
