ABOUT US

The Briuna Harps Foundation was founded by Timonthy Harps after a devastating personal tragedy—his daughter Briuna’s life was cut short by senseless gun violence. In her honor, Timonthy dedicated his life to supporting others facing grief, loss, and crisis. What began as funeral and counseling support for his own daughter has grown into a full‑service foundation helping families affected by violence, health emergencies, homelessness, and chronic illness.
