Twenty years after her father’s death God placed it in Whitney's heart to forgive the woman who was responsible for her father's death.
On Aug 17, 2018, Whitney and Debra came face to face for the first time inside the Madison Correctional Facility in Madison, IN. Whitney was finally able to get the closure she needed and extended her forgiveness. This was a pivotal moment where both of their lives were changed and a movement began.
​
Today, Whitney is now the Founder and CEO of the Raymond K Jones Foundation, created to provide support and resources to families impacted by gun violence. One of the foundation’s main goals is to shed light on Whitney and Debra’s unique story and bridge the gap between families and perpetrators to promote healing and forgiveness.

Testimonials
“Losing my husband to gun violence affects me everyday, mentally, physically, financially, and emotionally. I have to adjust to a new normal that no one should be forced into. I lost my husband 11 days after his 35th birthday & we only had been married for 20 months. My husband was a great provider, father, son, brother, and uncle. The world has gotten a lot darker for a lot of people when my husband was taken from it. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell my story again.”
