Last month, Haven would have been 20-years-old. In the aftermath of her murder, Haven’s family has organized donations to a local women’s shelter in honor of her.
“We feel that a beautiful way to honor our sweet Haven and her story would be to reach out a “helping hand from Haven” to a mother and child in need who may be fleeing domestic violence like Haven did with Ezra so many times with nothing but the clothes on their backs,” Haven’s Aunt Kim said on Facebook.
“It is our wish to make a large donation to a women’s shelter in Lubbock in Haven’s name on her birthday March 30th and something we plan to do each year in her memory.”
“If you love someone in this type of relationship, SPEAK YOUR MIND,” Kim continued. “Don’t let them “learn their lesson on their own.”…Respectfully tell them “ I love you but I don’t agree with your decision, but you will always have a safe place here.” Let them know that and keep that communication open.”
“Haven always knew her family’s home was her safe place and for that we have no regrets.”
