The Real alum also tagged the foundation set up in honor of Alaina in the post. The Alaina’s Voice Foundation’s “mission is to inspire hope and kindness in our communities through education, music, and mental health initiatives”, according to the foundation’s website.
Twelve people were killed in the shooting on Nov. 7, 2018, Alaina was the youngest victim of the shooting at 18 years of age when her life was cut short when Marine veteran, 28-year-old Ian David Long, walked into the country music bar and started shooting, before taking his own life.
Tamera Mowry-Housley is related to Alaina through her husband, former Fox News journalist and current winery owner, Aaron Housley.
