About Us

I am Kathy Pierre. I created Love Matters Inc in 2018 as an Ode to my daughter who was killed in 1991, as a victim of family violence. I was in a very bad domestic violence relationship that nearly killed me. Although domestic and family violence are now being recognized, we are still losing many people in our community to both. Women and children usually catch the brunt of most of the violence.Family violence and domestic violence is real in urban communities as well as prominent ones. I remember domestic violence was not something that law enforcement dealt with unless you were killed in the 80’s and 90’s.


There were little to no resources back then. When the police were called men were told to take a walk and cool off. As a survivor of domestic violence I met other women survivors and some still in abusive situations who faced similar challenges. Communities continue to struggle with shame and secrecy when it comes to domestic and family abuse. Many women and children become homeless fleeing from their homes. Many victims have children and other family members that struggle with post traumatic stress disorder and other mental health issues.

I wanted to create a program that can assist them with the resources they need whether they leave or stay. I wanted to give these families a voice. Love Matters Inc not only addresses the issues of the victims, we also assist the people that are struggling with using violence as a way to deal with their issues. We at Love Matters Inc believe that mental health plays a role in how people respond to issues or crises. We are here to empower those who may feel broken from life's challenges by building resiliency, encouraging and putting programs and policies in place that creates a culture of caring that protects our families mental and physical health. We intend to assist these families with the tools and assistance they need to live a vibrant life in their communities.
