The Story of The Larry Flaccamio Foundation
The Larry Flaccamio Foundation for young murder victims’ families and children at risk is fairly young and founded in 2015 by Donna Howell. Her son Larry Lee Flaccamio was murdered at age 16 on December 30, 2014. It was Larrys hope to build a house for kids that nobody wanted. After his murder through research and personal experience it became apparent to Donna that we have many social issues contributing to crime and the appalling number of young murder victims in just the Huntsville Al area. Also brought to light was the lack of a strong system for support of the murder victims’ families as they are also victims. She began the Larry Flaccamio Foundation in her son’s honor to help these families and friends of their lost loved ones. The foundation is a non profit support platform for kids at risk and young murder victims in various ways. Thank you for your support!
