On July 14th, 2009 Greyssel (Grace) Gomez, a 24 year old mother of 7 year old Rodney Jr., and college student was fatally shot by her ex-boyfriend multiple times on a Brooklyn street. Grace had gone there that day expecting her ex-boyfriend to return her son to her custody, but instead of bringing their son he brought a gun. Sadly, he fled the scene and no arrests have been made.

Wednesday August 5th, Grace’s friends will be sponsoring a happy hour fundraiser in her memory. All of the proceeds will go to Grace’s family for the care of her son Rodney Jr. We also aim to bring awareness with this event to the devastating effects of domestic violence in our communities. We must mobilize for change because love shouldn’t hurt.

In the U.S. every 9 seconds a woman is assaulted or beaten.
Approximately 1.3 million women and 835,000 men are physically assaulted by an intimate partner annually in the United States.
