WELCOME TO DMV MOTHERS LIKE ME

When my son survived a gunshot wound to the head —due to senseless gun violence. I found myself searching for guidance, support, and resources to help navigate his recovery. I wished there had been a central place to turn to—a hub of information that could make the journey a little easier.

DMV Mothers Like Me was created for other mothers who share that same wish. Here, you’ll find a supportive community, valuable resources, and a space where no mother has to navigate this journey alone.
