  • Summary

  • DeAndra is a volunteer with the Indiana chapter of Moms Demand Action and a Senior Fellow with the Everytown Survivor Network. On February 1, 2014, DeAndra's 13-year-old son, DeAndre (Dre), was struck by a stray bullet at a birthday party. Dre survived, but was critically wounded and can no longer walk or talk. Since Dre was shot, DeAndra has become a dedicated activist with a focus on raising awareness for wounded/disabled victims of gun violence and the struggles they face. DeAndra now oversees a new advocacy and support program for non-fatal shooting survivors for the City of Indianapolis. Funded by the American Rescue Plan, the program is operated in partnership between DeAndra, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, IUPUI's O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and the Indianapolis Office of Public Health and Safety. DeAndra is also the Founder and Executive Director of Purpose 4 My Pain, a resource hub providing support for women and families personally affected by gun violence.
