A True Survivor Story: How SPARCC Supported a Journey from Tragedy to Transformation

The Giving Coast

Years ago, SPARCC provided refuge to a young boy, his brother, and their mother as they sought safety from domestic violence. Despite enduring the unimaginable tragedy of the murder-suicide of his parents, that boy, Robleh Kirce, is now a Managing Partner at NextArrow and committed to the well-being of survivors.
