Our Story

We started out as a modest website called Accidental Impacts and over the past decade grew to reach a worldwide audience. In 2019 we became a not-for-profit corporation in the State of California, and in 2022 we changed our name and became The Hyacinth Fellowship. We are the only organization worldwide serving the needs of those who have unintentionally killed or seriously injured other people.
