The group's overall mission is to help provide resources to victims and their families. It's something that hits close to home for the group's founder.

"My grandson was shot four times so then I got a chance to see what it is like, but because of where we've been in grief support I was really able to cope well. Grief support does work. It really does," said Janice Gorden, founder of Victims of Milwaukee Violence Burial Fund.

The group is entirely funded by donations. If you'd like to help the cause, CLICK HERE.
