Ambers Foundation was created in honor of Krista Ambers, whose life was tragically taken by domestic violence on August 5, 2015.
What began as unimaginable loss has become a mission grounded in purpose.
We are building something deeper than awareness; we are creating spaces where people can process, reconnect with themselves, and move forward with strength.
This work is personal. This work is necessary. And this work is rooted in love.
OUR STORY

Our mission is to confront the realities of domestic violence while offering experiences that restore, empower, and uplift those impacted.

Why It Matters
Domestic violence is often hidden behind closed doors, leaving many to carry their experiences alone.
Ambers Foundation exists to change that.
We are committed to creating visibility, offering support without judgment, and building spaces where people feel acknowledged not overlooked.
Because healing doesn’t happen in isolation it happens in safe, intentional environments.

Shamika Brown
Ambers Foundation was founded by Shamika Brown, whose life was forever changed by the loss of her sister, Krista Ambers.
Instead of allowing that loss to remain a moment, she transformed it into movement.
Through her leadership, Ambers Foundation has become a space where pain is met with purpose, and where individuals are given the opportunity to reclaim their voice, their strength, and their sense of self.
Her vision is clear: to build a foundation that not only raises awareness but creates real, lasting impact in the lives of those affected.
