Introducing the Kelly Wilkinson Foundation: Supporting Families Affected by Domestic Violence Homicide
A note from our founder
I am Danielle Carroll, the sister of Kelly Wilkinson, whose life was tragically taken from us in April 2021 due to domestic violence. Kelly's untimely passing has left an indelible mark on our lives and inspired us to take action in supporting other families who have been affected by domestic violence homicide. Alongside my husband Rhys and our five children, we have opened our hearts and home to Kelly's three children, who experienced the unimaginable at such tender ages of 8, 6, and 2.
Kelly eagerly embraced helping others less fortunate than herself. She would be immensely proud to see the launch of the Kelly Wilkinson Foundation; a maternal wrap around service designed to provide short and long term financial and practical support to other secondary victims of domestic violence (being other children orphaned by domestic violence homicide and their caregivers). We recognise that the economic circumstances of secondary victims and their caregivers can dramatically change because of domestic violence homicide, and we aim to aid as many families as possible in our first years of operation.
I hope that you will join me in carrying out the Foundation’s mission.
The Kelly Wilkinson Foundation is a maternal wrap around service providing short- and long-term financial support to secondary victims of domestic violence homicide (being children affected by DV homicide and their caregivers).
