There are many ways to stand with survivors and help create stronger, safer, and more inclusive communities. Whether you give your time, resources, expertise, or platform, your support helps Paralyzed From Violence empower survivors to move from survival to independence, purpose, and leadership.

Your generosity helps survivors move forward.
Every contribution helps PFV provide mentorship, advocacy, survivor resources, community programming, violence prevention initiatives, and pathways toward greater independence.
Whether you give once or become a recurring supporter, your contribution helps turn survival into possibility.
Host a Fundraiser
Bring your community together for a cause.
Turn your event, workplace initiative, birthday, community gathering, or online campaign into an opportunity to support survivors. PFV welcomes individuals, businesses, and organizations interested in raising funds and awareness for our mission.
Invite Eddie to Speak
A story of survival. A message of purpose.
Invite PFV Founder and CEO Eddie Smith to share his powerful story of surviving gun violence and transforming life-changing trauma into purpose. Speaking engagements can focus on violence prevention, resilience, spinal cord injury, disability advocacy, accessibility, mentorship, and community leadership.
Available for schools, hospitals, universities, conferences, businesses, community organizations, and special events.
Together, We Can Turn Survival Into Opportunity.
Your involvement can help a survivor access resources, rediscover independence, prepare for employment, find mentorship, or simply know they don't have to navigate recovery alone.
Join PFV in building a future where violence doesn't define what comes next—resilience, opportunity, and purpose do.
