Finding Light in the Darkest Moments

Iman was a daughter and a sister. Her memory is the heart of this foundation and the reason her mother, Mari Carmen Rodriguez, continues this work.

Through workshops, community outreach, and advocacy, we honor Iman by helping other families find information, support, and a place to begin the conversation about prevention.
