Through MING’s legacy, we are creating programs that bring real change to our communities:
This is about rebuilding communities—not just reacting to tragedy.
There are moments in life that change everything—but what happens after that moment is where real impact begins.
At the Anthonaya Hyacinth Campbell Memorial Foundation, we understand that healing doesn’t happen overnight. For many families affected by violence, the struggle doesn’t end with loss—it continues through instability, fear, displacement, and uncertainty.
That is why we are building something deeper than awareness.
We are building Safe Haven.
When violence touches a family, safety becomes the first priority.
Too many families are left with:
Housing is not just a place to stay—it is the foundation for healing, stability, and rebuilding lives.
Without stability, there is no recovery.
Without safety, there is no peace.
Through our Housing & Empowerment Initiative, we are working to create:
Safe, secure environments for:
Healing goes beyond shelter. We aim to provide:
We believe in restoring independence, not dependency:
Access matters. Opportunity should never be out of reach.
This initiative is not just about providing shelter—it’s about restoring dignity, rebuilding lives, and creating long-term change.
We envision:
This initiative was not created from theory—it was created from lived experience.
From loss.
From love.
From a determination that no other family should have to navigate this journey alone.
MING’s legacy is not just remembered—it is actively saving lives.
We are calling on:
To stand with us in building this vision.
You can:
A safe home can change everything.
A second chance can save a life.
Through the Safe Horizon Initiative, we are turning tragedy into transformation—and building a future where every individual has a place to feel safe, valued, and empowered.
This is more than housing.
This is hope in action.
There is something powerful about a young person who feels seen, supported, and guided.
And there is something dangerous about a young person who feels forgotten.
At the Anthonaya Hyacinth Campbell Memorial Foundation, we believe the difference between those two outcomes is access, opportunity, and support.
That is why our mission is deeply rooted in one truth:
When we invest in our youth, we change the future. We believe in starting at the grassroots level: one voice, one family, and one community at a time.
🌍 Why Youth Programs Matter
Our youth are growing up in a world filled with challenges—violence, peer pressure, lack of guidance, and limited opportunities.
Too many young people are:
We refuse to let that be their story.
Through MING’s legacy, we are building programs that uplift, engage, and inspire.
We are bringing back the joy of community through:
Because every child deserves to feel like a winner.
We believe education should be encouraged and celebrated:
The higher the effort, the greater the reward.
Preparing youth for the real world:
We are not just preparing youth for today—we are preparing them for life.
We understand that strength starts within:
We are creating leaders, not followers:
This is not just about programs.
This is about:
Because when youth feel supported, they make better choices.
And when they make better choices, communities become stronger.
MING loved deeply. She connected with people. She brought light into every space she entered.
Through these programs, her spirit continues to:
Inspire. Uplift. Protect. Lead.
We are calling on:
To stand with us in building a better future.
You can:
Our youth are not the problem—they are the solution.
They just need the opportunity.
Through MING’s Youth Empowerment Programs, we are making sure that opportunity exists—for every child, every family, and every future.
No one gets left behind.
Safety should never depend on transportation.
But for many families affected by violence, it does.
At the Anthonaya Hyacinth Campbell Memorial Foundation, Inc., we have seen firsthand that when crisis strikes, one of the biggest barriers to safety is not willingness—it’s access.
Access to leave.
Access to relocate.
Access to a safe place.
That is why we created MING’s Safe Horizon Emergency Transitional Transportation Initiative.
When a family is in danger, every second matters.
But too often, families face impossible questions:
Without transportation, even the best resources become out of reach.
Transportation is not just movement—it is protection, access, and survival.
Our goal is simple:
No individual or family should be left without a way to get to safety.
Because support means nothing if you cannot reach it.
This initiative is not just about getting from point A to point B.
It is about:
We are not just moving people—we are helping them move forward.
This work is personal.
It is rooted in lived experience, in loss, and in a commitment that no family should ever feel trapped because they simply cannot get to safety.
Through MING’s legacy, we are turning barriers into bridges.
We are actively seeking:
Every contribution helps move someone closer to safety.
A ride can save a life.
A vehicle can change a future.
A moment of access can prevent tragedy.
Through the Safe Horizon Emergency Transitional Transportation Initiative, we are making sure that when someone needs help—
they are not left behind.
There are moments in life that change everything.
For me, that moment was August 23, 2025—the day my life was divided into before and after. Before that day, I was a mother doing everything I could to protect, provide, and prepare my children for the world. After that day, I became something more—a voice, an advocate, and a woman determined to turn unimaginable pain into purpose.
My daughter, Anthonaya “MING” Hyacinth Campbell, was more than a name. She was love. She was light. She was laughter. She was purpose walking in human form. Her momentum was unstoppable, for her wisdom was beyond the norm. And while her life was taken far too soon, her impact will NEVER be silenced. She is everything to her family and friends, who protected her with every ounce of their existence.
" They don't know what they've done, nor who they've taken from us. She wasn't just a person. She wasn't just a friend. She was our sister, our confidant, our love, our shoulder to cry on, our counselor, our family... so genuine, beautiful, flawless, and a sign of perfection. "CLOCK IT" - From the words of Anthonaya's friends and loved ones
That is how the Anthonaya Hyacinth Campbell Memorial Foundation was born.
This foundation is not just an organization—it is a movement.
A movement to:
We believe in one core principle:
“No one gets left behind.”
Through MING’s legacy, we are creating programs that bring real change to our communities:
This is about rebuilding communities—not just reacting to tragedy.
Gun violence does not discriminate.
It does not ask where you live.
It does not ask who you are.
It can touch any family, any community, any moment.
This foundation is not just about my daughter—it’s about all of our children.
You don’t have to do everything—but you can do something.
Every action matters. Every voice counts.
MING’s life did not end—it transformed.
It became purpose.
It became action.
It became a movement.
And through this foundation, her name will continue to:
Inspire. Protect. Empower. Save lives.
This is just the beginning.
Welcome to the journey.
Welcome to the mission.
Welcome to MING’s legacy.

Our mission is to fight against gun violence affecting our youth by creating safe spaces, empowering communities, and promoting education. Through mentorship, support services, and advocacy, we are committed to protecting lives and building a stronger, safer future for all.
The Anthonaya Hyacinth Campbell Memorial Foundation was founded in honor of Anthonaya “Ming” Campbell, a vibrant 17-year-old whose life was tragically taken by gun violence.
In the face of unimaginable loss, her mother, Dr. Jennifer L. Gardener, turned pain and passion into purpose—creating a foundation dedicated to protecting youth, empowering communities, and promoting education.
What began as grief has become a movement—one rooted in love, advocacy, and action. Through mentorship, support services, and community initiatives, we are committed to building safer spaces and brighter futures for the next generation.
Ming’s legacy lives on in every life we touch.
Through advocacy, education, and community action, we are creating safer spaces, empowering youth, and supporting families affected by gun violence, mental health, and reentry transitional support services. Our work provides mentorship, resources, and opportunities that uplift communities and drive meaningful, lasting change.
What makes the Anthonaya Hyacinth Campbell Foundation different is that our youth are not just participants — they are leaders, voices, advocates, and changemakers.
The Youth Ambassadors Committee was created to give young people a real seat at the table. Instead of speaking for the youth, we believe in empowering youth to speak for themselves, lead initiatives, build confidence, and create change within their own communities. Many of our ambassadors are individuals who were personally connected to MING, making this mission authentic, heartfelt, and deeply personal.
Our committee focuses on:
What truly separates us from others is that we combine compassion with action. We are not just creating programs — we are creating family, purpose, opportunity, and safe spaces for youth to feel seen, heard, valued, and supported.
At the Anthonaya Hyacinth Campbell Memorial Foundation, we believe:
“No one gets left behind.” - MING LEE
Our ambassadors are not chosen based on popularity or perfection. They are chosen because they represent resilience, leadership potential, love for community, and the willingness to stand together against violence while uplifting one another.
This initiative transforms pain into purpose by allowing youth to become part of the solution, the healing, and the future.

“What Is This Life?”
It’s easy to love yourself when life feels perfect.
But try loving yourself after loss…
When support is there, but the void remains.
When you’re searching for what’s real, where you belong, how to feel again.
Grief makes you numb.
It makes love feel distant.
Yet somehow…
self-love becomes the very thing that keeps you going.
This life isn’t what I chose.
But I’m still here.
Learning to love…
through the pain.
