We provide compassionate, culturally sensitive support to those whose lives have been shattered by the loss of a loved one to gun violence. When a life is lost to violence in the five boroughs, our community partners call WDWGFH to help the family in need.

We Stand With Survivors.

From the immediate, heart-wrenching moments at crime scenes, emergency rooms, and morgues to the long, challenging path of investigations, trials, and funeral arrangements, our team is there.

We offer more than just a shoulder to lean on; we provide culturally sensitive, emotional, and practical support that resonates with each individual’s experience. Our presence is a promise of unwavering support and solidarity.

Our commitment extends far beyond these initial stages of loss. The path to healing is ongoing, and WDWGFH is always on and always available to the families under our care. Mothers and families find a sanctuary in WDWGFH, where they can navigate their grief with dignity and strength. Our comprehensive programs offer healing circles, specialized training in trauma and PTSD, guidance through grief processes, and personalized case management services, all within a nurturing and secure environment.

Featured In

WDWGFH has been featured in several local and regional media outlets. We are proud to shine a light on the positive work happening at a grassroots level to support families and communities surviving the cruel aftermath of violence in our New York City communities.

Our Community

WDWGFH is there for grieving families. Carolyn Dixon is part of a crisis management system providing support and a safe space to grieve, cope, and heal. She speaks to the community about gun violence, and the community loves her.

WDWGFH is for mothers, fathers, and aunts of individuals who have been murdered. No one had to study what to say or how to approach our grief. Ms. Dixon’s phone is always on, and she will calm you when the storm of emotions takes over. She will go to court with you. She will follow up to check on your well-being. I’ve formed a lifetime bond with the women that I’ve met at WDWGFH. They were welcoming and supportive and understood every emotion I felt.

After the death of my son, Greg, Carol Dixon and WDWGFH were there for me, especially on days when I was having a challenging (emotional) day. WDWGFH helped change the community’s approach to dealing with grief and loss due to gun violence by being available even after closing hours.

“Donor” generosity would help not just you if needed, but others in our community who may be in need of a secure, welcoming place to go for help as they’re grieving and learning to heal after the loss of a loved one due to gun violence.

Where Do We Go From Here has an open door to those in need of violence intervention or mental health support, etc. Carolyn Dixon has been through tragedy herself, but is there 100% for any mother in distress. When a community sees someone care and put themselves out there to help, they tend to care for their community and neighbors too. This is what WDWGFH brings.

I have learned I'm not alone on this journey of grief. I've learned that we, as grieving people, have to support each other.

I have several examples I could give about how Where Do We Go From Here made a difference in my life. But I believe one of the most emotional was attending my first healing circle with Ms. Dixon. The day was so emotional for me, and I was able to open up and discuss my nephews (Nicky and Pipo's) deaths, as I’ve rarely done before.

Where Do We Go From Here reminded me that the pain of the death of a loved one is constantly with a survivor and has given methods of healing ways to recognize the emotions so I can better deal with them and not be surprised.
