<p>One of the president&#8217;s guests will be Anna Zarutska, the mother of Iryna Zarutska, the 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who was brutally stabbed to death on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina in August 2025.

<p>Her murderer, Decarlos Brown Jr., had more than a dozen prior arrests and was released on no-cash bail when he killed her. He faces both state and federal murder charges, though <a href="https://www.wral.com/news/local/examiners-determine-charlotte-light-rail-stabbing-suspect-currenly-incapable-to-stand-trail-may-2026/">as recently as Thursday</a>, federal examiners found him &#8220;incapable to proceed&#8221; in the federal case due to mental illness. He was found &#8220;incapable to proceed&#8221; on the state murder charge last month.</p>
<p>Six-time Olympic Medalist Kallie Humphries will also attend the luncheon, a White House official shared. Humphries is a Canadian and American bobsledder whose dream was to stand on the Olympic podium not only as an athlete, but as a mother. She achieved that dream during the 2026 Olympics when earned two bronze medals with her husband and son present to cheer her victory. Her son was born in 2024 through IVF, prompting Humphries to become an advocate for the process.</p>
<p>The president will also host Alicia Lopez, the mother of Marine Corps Corporal Hunter Lopez, one of the 13 U.S. service members killed in the ISIS-K suicide bombing at Abbey Gate outside the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul on August 26, 2021, during former President Joe Biden&#8217;s botched Afghanistan withdrawal. Corporal Lopez was 22-years-old at the time and hoped to become a sheriff in his hometown sheriff&#8217;s department, following in his family&#8217;s footsteps.</p>
<p>A number of Angel mothers will be present as well: Angel mother Sabine Durden-Coulter, whose son Dominic Durden was killed in 2012 by an illegal immigrant in California, Angel mom Anne Fundner, whose son Weston died after taking a counterfeit fentanyl-laced pill in 2022, and Angel mom Jaqueline Medina, whose daughter Lizbeth Medina was killed in Texas in 2023 by an illegal alien.</p>
<p>Other guests include Dalisia Ballinger, a Memphis mother and public safety advocate who is a member of &#8220;Make Memphis Safe Again,&#8221; and Melody Wolfe, the mother of West Virginia National Guard Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, who was critically wounded in a terrorist attack on November 26, 2025, near the White House by Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who entered the country in 2021.</p>
