Welcome to the Lacy Jo Miller Foundation Official Site©, in honor of Lacy Jo Miller, 1982-2003.

Bringing Peace, Healing and Promise to both sides of violence... Preventing, Promoting and Procuring change for the empowerment of Survivors. 

The vision of 2 Hearts is being the bridge organization that works with survivors of violent crimes both the victim and offender's families to give on-going meaningful support to deal with grief, loss, healing and restoration. Violence prevention is a key factor in our mission to restore peace in the community.

Our goal is to empower, educate and support those affected by violent crime. Our major area of focus will be violence prevention. We started the 2 Hearts Academy which is a drop-out retrieval program for youth ages 16-20. Classes run Monday - Friday from 9:00 - 3:00. We are accepting applications for this program. The program is free to students who are accepted.  We will assist students who would like to pursue a GED. We are not a testing sight but can work with students in this area. The goal of this program is to provide a safe learning environment for non-traditional learners. Research says that the longer a child stays in school, the less likely they will be to commit a violent crime.

Safety Awareness is another area that 2 Hearts will focus on. Currently we are working with Realistic Safety Solutions to educate women and parents about strategies to prevent attacks and if there is an attack, to be able to do what is necessary to escape and survive. 2 Hearts provides training seminars through out the year. We are working with Nicole Sundine and the Loan Tree Police department to change police impersonation policies in the state and in our country.

Wendy is also available to speak with families who have murdered children. Realizing that until a person has actually experienced this kind of loss, it is difficult to understand and be able to transition through the mountain of grief and loss. She provides loving support to those who have also suffered this kind of loss.

We also speak to  and work with probation departments, at-risk programs, half-way houses and high schools to explain the negative impact of offender's choices on primary survivors as well as secondary survivors of violent crimes. We will bring a promotion and understanding of restorative justice as a better way to affect change for survivors on both sides of crime.
