We Are Heather's Family

Heather's Legacy started as a mere conversation on an airplane in February of 2010. We were headed home from the funeral of 23-year old, Heather Jeannine Kwiate. For almost a year, it remained a stagnant idea that we thought would never be realized. In 2011, Heather's Legacy was established in Atlanta, GA. in memory of Heather J. Kwiate, who became a fatal victim of domestic violence leaving behind two small children.

Heather's Legacy is a non-profit organization run by Heather's family in hopes that we might be able to help other families avoid such devastating acts of violence.

We Are Here...

  • To give voice to the voiceless
  • To help the innumerable people who face abuse everyday
  • To help the people who think they can never get out
  • To STOP domestic violence
  • To help the families of those who no longer have a voice of their own
  • To tell you that one person CAN make a difference
  • To help shed light on the issues of domestic violence

We are here so the memory of Heather will never fade. We share her message with you in hopes of touching the lives of many. We are here because Heather left us far too soon.
