Gabby Petito’s Family Starting Foundation
HOLBROOK, NY - SEPTEMBER 26: A sign for Gabby Petito is seen outside of a funeral home on September 26, 2021 in Holbrook, New York. As the search continues into a second week in Florida to find Brian Laundrie, who is a person of interest, the family of Gabby Petito holds a public funeral in her hometown of Long Island.
Gabby Petito’s family members are channeling their grief over the loss of their loved one into a foundation to try and help others. Petito’s mother, Nichole Schmidt, as well as Gabby’s father and step-mother, Joe and Tara Petito, are launching The Gabby Petito Foundation.
The idea? To give aid to organizations that support locating missing persons while also helping organizations that assist domestic violence victims.
Schmidt says that while they can’t change the past, they can change the future. She hopes the organization can prevent what happened to Gabby from happening to someone else.
