Zorimar Bentancourt: Murder Can't Silence A Mother's Love

This episode honors the enduring bond that even murder cannot break. We sit down with Zorimar Betancourt, whose world shattered when her son Stefano was carjacked and murdered while she drove behind him, trying desperately to help him on the phone. This conversation is raw and real, but it's filled with grace, a reminder that ever when violence steals life, it can't silence a mother's love. Learn how Zorimar tirelessly advocates for organ donation in Puerto Rico, and has made it her mission to help other parents navigate grief during trauma -- all in honor of her son, Stefano. The Stefano Steenbakkers Bentancourt Foundation: https://www.fundacionstefano.org/To reach our guest Zorimar Bentancourt: 100 Av.
