The Sherri Denese Jackson Foundation was founded June 26, 2008, on behalf of Sherri's mother Mrs. Clara Jackson, by Portia Shipman. It was at Mrs. Jackson's request that a Foundation be established so no mother will have to feel the pain she feels and no other woman will have the suffer the same fate of her daughter.
Sherri Jackson was a beautiful woman. Sherri was caught in a net, with no where to run. Too embarrassed and ashamed to ask for help from others, she tried to get out, to get away on her own. He killed her, buried her in the backyard of his mother’s house and for 19 months hid her from everyone who loved her. In part of a plea bargain, Decarlo Bennett agreed to tell the District Attorneys office where he buried her body. He was summond to come out and tell the correct location to dig and find Sherri’s remains. We recovered the remains of Sherri on June 26, 2008 about 1:30pm, in the backyard of her estranged boyfriend's home. She 27 years old and had a whole life ahead of her.
Our mission is to prevent and put a stop to domestic violence, intervening relationships and bringing awareness to the community on a state and local level. Our goals are to heal the spirits, minds and bodies of domestic violence victims.
1. To raise awareness about domestic violence in our community specifically how it affects teenagers and young adults.
Our Commitment:
This Foundation will strive to keep the life of Sherri Jackson alive by saving the lives of other women who are struggling with domestic abuse . We commit our lives to saving the lives of other women, by pulling them out of the dark, reuniting them with their families and true friends and giving them a safe alternative. By taking these steps we are telling them “You Can Get Out” and we vow to help them every step of way.
