Walt Harris and his wife Angela went through something no parent should go through when Walt’s stepdaughter Aniah Blanchard was kidnapped and murdered over a year ago.
The UFC star and his wife have now started the Aniah’s Heart Foundation, with the hope being that the foundation will help prevent other families going through what Walt and Angela went through in 2019.
“In the midst of all the turmoil we were going through, we didn’t know where to turn during those first hours of abduction, which are the most critical,” Harris told UFC.com. “An important aspect of our foundation is to help guide families and loved ones during those times, as everything is a whirlwind and it’s very traumatizing. From our personal experience, we might be able to comfort families and help point them in the right direction.”
Members of the non-profit foundation will help by providing safety education through meetings on Facebook and Zoom, while monthly care packages will also be offered. Aniah’s Heart is also going to help by funding searches when a loved one goes missing, which will help provide manpower, lodging and other resources.
The foundation has already helped with 15 cases of abductions and many others have reached out for assistance as well. The foundation will help in four key areas when it comes to their work, with those areas being safety & awareness education, self-defense training, search & rescue and support for families of missing victims.
