Alina's Light

WHO WE ARE: Our humble team began with Yan and Elly, bereaved parents of Alina Sheykhet. The world was turned upside down when their only daughter fell victim to the nightmare that is domestic violence. A loving daughter, supportive sister, proud aunt, devoted friend, talented dancer, and intelligent college student – Alina is far more than a victim of domestic violence. Her loved ones vowed to make a difference in her memory. Through the devastation, Elly and Yan turned their grief into motivation to begin something beautiful. They founded Alina’s Light, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. WHAT WE DO: Our organization is centered around making our communities a brighter place. Our services include educational, preventative, and healing programs surrounding domestic violence. Our focus is to educate our communities, provide healing spaces for those that are grieving, and take a stand against the epidemic that is domestic violence. Alina was loved beyond words and brought light into the lives of many. Her spirit remains with us, and she will live on through our hearts, memories, and stories. Alina will always guide and inspire us.
