Mothers of a Bleeding Heart (MOBH)
Welcome to Moms of a Bleeding Heart
Turning Grief Into Power. Together.
Moms of a Bleeding Heart (MOBH) brings together moms who have lost children due to senseless gun violence. Founded by Sharon & Willie Powell — parents of Michael & Leroy — MOBH is built on love, healing, and the power of presence. We gather in fellowship, offer space to grieve, and empower one another to rise through the pain with purpose.
Each May, we honor these brave moms through our annual Mother’s Day Commemoration — a beautiful gathering featuring gourmet meals, meaningful gifts, and heartfelt connection. MOBH also hosts healing retreats, family picnics, and year-round outreach efforts to support moms in crisis and celebrate the resilience of our community.
