Atlanta rapper Quavo and his foundation are launching an emergency therapy fund to support children and families affected by recent gun violence in the city.
The fund is dedicated to those impacted by the shooting deaths of two people with deep ties to the Rocket Foundation .
“Anytime a family or community suffers loss is traumatic, and it doesn’t matter if it’s 20 people or one person — that trauma is still the same for those who are closest to them,” said Greg Jackson Jr., president of the foundation, whose mission is to end gun violence.
In its latest effort, the organization aims to provide “real-time support for the mental health needs of impacted families and youth,” including “trauma expert therapeutic services for children and families,” according to a news release.
