Last June, the world lost a beautiful voice and lost her much too soon. Christina Grimmie was only 22 years old when a fan approached her and shot her at a meet and greet in Orlando, Florida. The former Voice finalist left behind a devastated family – mother, father and older brother. Since that time, the Grimmie family have channeled their grief into building upon her legacy and helping others through such difficult times by giving the way they were given to. Established earlier this year, the Christina Grimmie Foundation seeks to help those affected by the tragedy of gun violence as well as those affected by the diagnosis of breast cancer. Why both? Well, prior to her passing, Christina was a strong supporter of breast cancer charities because her mother is a breast cancer survivor and continues to battle the disease to this day.
