Melissa Chatham Memorial Fund
Melissa Chatham, a 24 year old young woman from Delta, BC, was tragically taken from her family and friends on Sunday September 21, 2008 in an act of violence. Melissa was a strong and beautiful young woman who was about to return to University and was taking many positive steps to gain control of her life, when it was taken from her.
Tragically, Melissa's family is not alone in having experienced such a devastating loss. Violence against women continues to pose enormous threats to the safety of women across Canada and in BC.
The Chatham family has set up a memorial fund in honor of Melissa's life through the Ending Violence Association of British Columbia (EVA BC). The intention of the fund is to benefit other young women dealing with the devastating impacts of relationship violence across BC.
Donations to the Melissa Chatham Memorial Fund can be made online:

Vancouver, BC V6B 1P2.
An official charitable receipt will be issued for all donations received.
