Every Journey Matters

A safe community for anyone continuing after a pause. It might be your own pause, or it might be a pause someone else had that ended in death, and now you carry that journey as well as your own.

Built by Loss. Driven by Hope.

Twizted Journeys is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in Shelbyville, Indiana by Tonya Crump and Tia Weaver — two women who turned personal loss into a lifeline for their community. We exist to make sure no one has to carry the weight of grief, suicide loss, or mental health struggle alone. Every journey matters, and every journey is Twizted in its own way.
