In our latest interview, Charlie Allenson discusses the domestic violence situation that resulted in his niece’s murder. He talks about who his niece, Rebecca Eldemire was and what we all lost when she died. He explains what her parents, family and strangers are doing to fill her empty seat at the table by honoring her through the BEEPS Foundation. The BEEPS foundation is the Betterment for Environmental and Earth Protection. Since her murder, Charlie has become involved in gun violence prevention in an effort to save lives and spare others the pain he and his family are going through.

Listen to the interview about the domestic violence situation that took her life and how she is being honored:
