The loss of my son James was the most devastating moment of my life. In the depths of grief, I made a promise to ensure that his life would not be defined by how it ended, but by the change it would inspire.

The James Clarence Bradford Foundation was born from a mother’s love and a community’s need. We work tirelessly to connect families with the professional support they need and raise awareness to prevent other families from experiencing the heartbreak that gun violence brings.

Through community engagement and awareness campaigns, we’re creating a legacy of hope and healing. Every family we connect with resources, every life we touch, honors James’s memory and brings us closer to a future where no parent has to bury their child due to gun violence.
