On Valentine's Day, February 14, 2023, 35-year-old Natacha Turner, a doting mother of two and a beloved animal groomer in her community, who was known for her radiant smile, big heart, and love for children and animals was doing what she did best, taking care of others.
Natacha was babysitting her 2-year-old little cousin as she did every Tuesday, creating a safe haven filled with love and laughter. At 3 p.m. that day, an ex-boyfriend from Natacha's past approached her home, which she shared with her brother and her children, and with a chilling coldness, he unleashed an act of violence so profound that it would forever mark that day. After a brutal assault, he set Natacha ablaze, turning the peaceful residence into a dwelling of devastation. In the wake of his malevolence, both Natacha and her innocent little cousin Sapphire were tragically ensnared.
The news of this heart-wrenching event sent shockwaves throughout the community, as detailed in the [Wave3 News](https://www.wave3.com/2023/02/18/officials-identify-woman-2-year-old-girl-killed-house-fire-near-iroquois-park/) report. But amidst the grief, a powerful narrative of resilience and hope began to emerge.
Natacha's legacy as a mother, friend, and nurturer inspired the birth of the Sisterhood of Survivors. While the pain of losing Natacha remains ever-present, Natacha's mom and her family channeled their grief into a mission of change. They sought to ensure that no other family would have to endure the anguish they faced, and that the memory of Natacha would serve as a beacon of hope for countless others.
Today, the Sisterhood of Survivors stands as a testament to Natacha's spirit. It serves as a rallying cry for domestic violence survivors, families of victims, and supporters worldwide, sending a powerful message: You are seen, you are valued, and you are not alone. The foundation embodies hope, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to change, ensuring that Natacha's light continues to shine brightly, guiding others toward safety, healing, and love.
