The family of a 23-year-old woman who was shot in the head by her husband recently created a website that is intended to raise awareness of domestic violence and raise money for children who have parents that have died because of domestic violence.

Heather Jesk had just moved to Chicago with her two young children and husband, who had recently returned from serving in Iraq, when the family suddenly turned volatile. Heather’s family noticed that her husband began verbally abusing her. Shortly after the verbal abuse began, Heather’s husband began physically abusing her and killed her by shooting her in the head.

Heathersvoice.org was created to help children like Heather’s who have endured domestic violence. Heather’s family hopes that the website will also decrease the number of domestic violence deaths that occur every year.
