Established in memory of Elizabeth Gerald’s daughter, Marcie, who tragically lost her life to suicide following a brutal sexual assault, the Marcie Jones Gerald Foundation stands as a beacon of hope and support for those affected by similar circumstances. Through awareness campaigns addressing childhood suicide and initiatives providing vital resources such as therapy referrals, housing assistance for domestic violence victims, and aid for homeless families, the foundation strives to make a positive impact on the community.
