The Season of Giving...
With Meaning
Help Keep Kids Safe
this Christmas
On average, ONE CHILD A WEEK is murdered by a parent or step-parent during divorce, separation, child support, visitation, or custody negotiations. Many of these tragic events occur during ongoing legal disputes. We can do better.
Pierce’s Pledge is deeply committed to providing accessible resources to professionals and communities to help increase safety for children and families and prevent gun violence.
Your gift this holiday season can help keep kids safe.

Meet Pierce's Mom.
Pierce, my little mama’s boy, was tragically taken from us on January 13, 2021. He was murdered by his father, my ex-husband, while he slept. Pierce was shot in the heart with a gun and then his father cowardly took his own life. Pierce’s beautiful beating heart, which was loved by so many, never had a chance.
My heart and soul were taken away from me that day, as well as from all those who loved Pierce - which are so many children and kids from around the world.
I stand here today, not because I want to. I want to be eating ice cream with Pierce. And I am not standing here to fight and protect myself and my son, because my life has already been destroyed. I stand here and ask you to take this pledge for the legacy of my son, Pierce, for the legacy of all children taken in this manner, and for all of your kids. We must not only protect our children from gun violence, but also raise awareness and safeguard loved ones in the unimaginable aftermath and trauma of living with a nightmare. Because if it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.
With humble gratitude,
Lesley Hu
