JAMIE'S STORY

At 31, Jamie had abundantly demonstrated love, compassion, strength and courage to all who knew her. And she had finally found the way to leave a boyfriend who had become increasingly controlling and abusive. It was the kind of abuse whose signs are so subtle that only a few would ever recognize them. But after seven years, Jamie realized that despite the periodic good times and all of his promises, he would never change. So she mustered the courage to start life anew. Three months later, he drove half way across the country, shot and killed her, and then killed himself.  

Devoted daughter and friend, principled professional, runner, dedicated sports fan, and so much more, Jamie was full of life. So that her memory may live and so that others can live, the Jamie Kimble Foundation for Courage is committed to creating a future free of domestic violence.

 PARTNERS AT WORK: MYERS PARK DVA CLUB

Myers Park High School Domestic Violence Awareness Club was founded in 2013 by Monika Tubb, High School Teacher and friend of the late Jamie Kimble. The club was established in memory of Jamie with the hope of increasing awareness of domestic violence through education and getting the community involved.

Your story is the
key that can unlock someone else's prison. Share your testimony.

Beginning with our next newsletter we want to share stories from survivors of an abusive relationship in hopes of inspiring others currently in an abusive situation. To let them know that we care, that we believe in them, and that they too can find the courage to seek help.
