Board Members
Peixia Chen Liu
President/Chair
Peixia Chen Liu is the wife of New York City Police Officer and hero, WenJian Liu. Wen Jian Liu was brutally murdered on December 20, 2014 along with his partner Police Officer Rafael Ramos. Shortly after WenJian passed away, she adopted a rescue dog and named him Liu. Liu brought strength and hope back to her life. Through this experience, she realized her calling in life—to give and care for others who have gone through similar difficulties. Peixia wants to be able to share her experiences to help others, especially the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty who are going through heartbreaking times.
Two years after her husband’s death, she gave birth to their beautiful daughter, Angelina. Peixia wishes that one day Angelina will know her father was a hero, and she hopes that WenJian’s legacy lives on through this foundation.
