His Passing Also Encouraged His Mother to Reach out and Help Others

Aside from creating a foundation to help mothers who have lost their children to violence of all kinds in Rainbow of Mothers, McSpadden has also created the Michael O.D. Brown We Love Our Sons and Daughters Foundation. As she stated in her book, “I wanted to use my voice to bring together a rainbow of mothers from all races and backgrounds who had either lost a child to street violence, gun violence, excessive police force, or just untimely death due to illnesses. I saw services for counseling, programs for our surviving kids, physical activities so that we could keep our bodies and minds occupied.”
