celebrated his 21st birthday - something he didn't think he would do after losing several peers to gun violence, and nearly surviving a drowning incident which claimed the lives of two of his best friends.
Just two weeks later, on the night of July 24th, after returning to a friends house, he was met by gun fire as he parked his vehicle. David was rushed to a near-by hospital were he was pronounced deceased.
Left to deal with the sudden & tragic lost of her only child, Founder, Jasmine Hardison began to use the tragedy as a call to action.
She began visiting the homes of families who experienced the loss of a child due to gun violence; facilitating healing circles and providing grief support along with resources for survivors of gun violence.
This became the birth of the organization. Today, King David Respect for Life, Inc., is recognized by countless families throughout Oakland - also being listed in the Oakland Police Department resource guide for providing grief and healing services. We specialize in providing trauma-informed care to families through our healing services; introducing holistic modalities such as yoga, sound therapy, & meditation to help offset stress, PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
