Survivors of Shootings

About the Charity

Founded more than a decade ago, All American Center is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to helping families and people help themselves during crises.

Starting in 2021 the Survivors Fund was created in an effort to do just that.

One of its volunteers and members experienced a crisis that culminated in the creation of the Survivors Fund after being shot several time, run over and left for dead.

This campaign was created to help educate people on how to deal with the crisis of survival without guilt and deal with being involved in a shooting and the problems of surviving, when others did not.

Known as the survival syndrome.

Survivor syndrome, also known as survivor's guilt, is the response of a person when they believe they have done something wrong by surviving a traumatic event when others did not, often feeling self-guilt.

What are the characteristics of survivor syndrome?

Typical signs of survivor's remorse are similar to those of PTSD.

Here are the symptoms of people who suffer from PTSD:

A sense of guilt for being alive when others weren't. A never-ending cycle of rethinking one's actions during the incident. Irritability and emotional volatility. Shut Down, Depression, Mood swings.

When Love is Not Enough became a call for everyone going through this type of crisis by one of All American Centers own members, we fell the pain and understand the need..

Helping our Survivors in times of crisis is simply not possible without your kind and generous donations to help. With you help we are able to pay their everyday expenses and medical bills, directly. During this time of crisis they are not able to work. They are having problems getting out of bed, having problems learning how to even walk again. They do not know how long this will last or if they will ever get back to work at all. This is where your support of the Survival Fund comes into play and makes a difference.

Your contributions help provide:

Basic living expenses

Electric

Gas

Food

Car Insurance

Car payment

Monthly Mortgage or rent.

Health insurance

Durable medical equipment

Other needed financial assistance

The way we are able to do this is all bills for our Survivor are collected and are paid directly to the billing companies while funds are provided to give a helping hand during this time of crisis for up to 2 or 3 months, until an evaluation of the crisis is completed and assessed to view other options.

This program is not a funding source for the rest of their life, but to be considered a helping hand while dealing with the immediate crisis at hand for a month or so to assist getting them back on their feet and help them to adjust. This time frame should not exceed more than 4 months, unless the survivor or donor and sponsoring group has provided specific funds to our survivor to have the assistance continue past the 3^rd month, if they think it will be needed.
