# Miranda Faith Memorial Foundation

> A Louisiana Non-Profit Corporation (LA Charter 44711247N) empowering survivors of domestic violence through education, scholarships, mentorship, and holistic support. Founded in memory of Miranda Faith (January 16, 1995 – January 12, 1999). Canonical site: https://miranda.faith
