Multiple organizations that helped victims and survivors of domestic violence worked together to bring this vigil together for Madeline’s family.
The organizations included The Advocacy Center of Winona, HOPE Coalition, Women’s Shelter and Support Center, and Bluff Country Family Resources.
“It’s a good chance for people to get together and celebrate her and remember her, and then just kind of talk about domestic violence as a whole because it kind of just feels like an invisible epidemic. It’s not talked about a lot, so it’s a good opportunity to do that,” Madeline’s sister Megan Kingsbury said.
For Madeline’s family and friends, it’s great to continue seeing community support them more than a year later.
