We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children ages 7 to 17 who have lost a parent, legal guardian, sibling, or caregiver to homicide. Through Camp Sheilah, scholarships that support education beyond high school, and partnerships with organizations that serve these children, we strive to help transform a child’s tragedy into a brighter future.

Our mission is to provide hope—empowering children to grow into caring, resilient, and responsible individuals. Most importantly, we want them to know they never have to walk their journey alone.

The Sheilah A. Doyle Foundation was founded in 2009 by three siblings who lost their mother to homicide on July 3, 1993. Inspired by their own experience and the importance of supporting others through grief, they came together to create the foundation in her honor.
