About Us
Anitra’s Light Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children and young adults who have lost a parent due to gun violence, tragedy, illness, or incarceration. Inspired by the life and legacy of Anitra, Candance’s daughter who was killed in a mass shooting, the foundation exists to ensure no child walks through grief alone.
We provide counseling services, grief support, mentorship, basic-needs assistance, school supplies, baby essentials, hygiene items, clothing, holiday sponsorships, and transitional housing and transportation for ages 18–25.
Our mission is to transform trauma into healing by offering emotional support, resources, and community programs that strengthen families and rebuild lives.
Anitra’s Light Foundation is committed to turning ashes into beauty, one child at a time.
