Mothers of Murdered Offspring (MOM-O) is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization with a dual mission to support families through the cycle of grief and devastation that murder causes and to create and support programs and activities that focus on violence prevention.
MOM-O was founded after co-founder Dee Sumpter’s daughter was brutally murdered in February 1993, when Shawna opened the door to whom she thought was a friend. Hours later her body was found submerged in the family bathtub. She had been raped and strangled to death by whom was later found to be a serial killer. Shawna was his third of ten victims. At that time there were no organizations or support groups dedicated to helping families of murder victims cope with the pain, grief, anger, and sudden devastation they had to endure.
Over the last 30 years, MOM-O has filled that void for thousands of family members, friends, classmates, co-workers, neighbors, and community members.
The vicious cycle of violence and substance abuse poisoning our communities is destroying our families and our future. We must engage earlier, commit to intervening longer, and reach deeper into the systemic issues surrounding this epidemic.
We are committed to
We need you! It’s because of generous supporters like you, who believe in our mission, that makes our critical work possible. Your donations will ensure we can continue this important work.
