behind battleship rain

On February 26, 2018, I lost my dearest, dearest daughter Kristin M. Thomas, to senseless gun violence related to someone else's domestic dispute.  Early that morning when Kristin was on her way to work, she was offered a ride from a Deacon and his daughter of the church we attend.  On this day, Kristin’s life journey took a tragic turn.  The Deacon’s daughter’s child's father, approached the vehicle, at a gas station near our home.  After a conversation pursued between the two, violence erupted. He began firing his gun into the vehicle where the victims sat, sadly killing everyone.

​

From this incident, Battleship Rain began to understand its calling.  We began to create a support plan for survivors; thru networking and advocating for those in transition.
