Eddie lost a childhood best friend to suicide. He comes to MPGV with the hope that the work we do may help prevent someone else’s loss. In his words, “If there had been an organization in my neighborhood like MPGV to intervene and educate the community about gun safety and violence, perhaps I’d still be able to consider him one of my best friends.”
