In 1995, Vicky’s 19-year-old son was shot and killed while leaving a high school football game. His murderer was never caught. To prevent other parents from experiencing the same loss, Vicky runs Project Cry No More, a nonprofit that provides emotional support and information about “living through, not getting over” a loved one who has fallen victim to violence. She is a poet and has been interviewed by various news outlets, including the Los Angeles Times.
