FAIF Foundation – For Anyone In Fear. For Everyone Ready to Rise.

Walking with the hurting

Rising with the healing

Our Story

FAIF Foundation was born out of pain — but it stands for hope. Founded by Dominique “FAIF” Owens after surviving a fatal car crash that took the lives of his best friend, Kerry Benson and Kerry’s girlfriend, Germina Cruz. This movement uplifts anyone navigating trauma, loss, or fear.

From classrooms to community shelters, Dominique turned grief into purpose — building FAIF to walk with others on their journey to healing, wholeness, and strength.

FAIF Foundation is on a mission to empower people navigating trauma, grief, and transition- one step at a time.

Our Mission

The FAIF Foundation is committed to empowering individuals through healing-centered support. We believe healing isn’t linear—and no one should have to walk that road alone.

🔔Through books, music, public speaking, and direct outreach, we provide tools, connection, and inspiration for people in transition.

Why It Matters

We don’t wait for a 501(c)(3) status to show up for our people. FAIF is already on the ground, building trust, providing relief, and showing others what healing in action looks like.

Healing doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful. Whether it’s a warm meal or a powerful message, we believe small efforts can spark big change.
