The Derambez Morgan Foundation is being founded in honor of my son Derambez Morgan, who lost his life to Gun Violence on November, 20, 2020, by a co-worker at work. The loss of my Loving son, left us Heart Broken, Speechless, Numb and in Disbelief. Now our mission is to fight for improvement and prevention of this National Gun Violence Epidemic that is plaging our Nation for 26 years. It Is Personal, myself Melice Morgan Jones, Derambez Morgan's mother, his family and friends. The Derambez Morgan Foundation will create Scholarships, Seminars, Charitable Events, Youth Gun Education Events, Career Workshops, Survivor Resources & Events. As well, provide firsthand support for the victims, survivors and community to work towards an effective solution for Gun Violence Prevention & Reform.

The Derambez Foundation will focus on "Real Action"communication, effective preventative measures & change for this National Gun Violence Crisis. Providing information with a roadmap for resources, Gun Prevention Education and Conflict Resolution Techniques. These factors are very important for us to see the change we desire for Gun Violence Improvement and Prevention. Think Before You Shoot! Don't Let Your Emotions Cause Permanent Irreversible Damage!
An "Altercation" Should NEVER Result In Death by Gun Violence!

These solutions are necessary to save our futures and the lives of our children from Gun Violence and to restore the public safety of society from the Gun Violence Epidemic. Everyone working together, getting to the Root Cause of WHY?, learning how to control one's emotions, and don't allow pride or peer pressure to cause a life long decision. Gun Violence is happening everywhere and no justifiable change has taken place in over 25 years. "It only take small impactful actions and solutions to create Change." The Derambez Morgan Foundation is being formed so more parents, young adults, teenagers and loved ones do not have to go through the Heart Breaking loss of their child or family members to Gun Violence plaquing our Nation.
