She helps Indianapolis shooting and assault survivors.
Antonia Bailey's children were killed in Aug. 2019. To help process the grief, the Indianapolis mother is finding peace working with gun violence victims.
Today, some of those same people still live at Post Brook Apartments and recognize Bailey immediately, even though she hasn't lived there since that day four years ago. Surveillance cameras outside later showed Ashlynn running out the front door and looking around for help. “Part of me wishes she’d ran because I would have still had her here,” Bailey adds, her voice shaking with emotion. “But I know if she would have survived, I wouldn’t have been able to save my baby because of the guilt."“I don’t know, nor do I want to know, how many times my baby was shot,” Bailey says of her son.
The impact this mother hoped to make in the wake of her children’s deaths has brought her downtown, working for the city as a non-fatal shooting advocate and support specialist. Every week, Bailey reaches out to people who have survived being shot or assaulted. “I cried the entire time,” Bailey says of the moment she ordered the books she would eventually send.
