A Story of Hope
Our families witnessed the many ways our children embraced their new normal with peace, positivity, and perseverance through their darkest hours. We are so proud of them in the many ways they both touched and inspired others, and now we want to share their stories and give others hope.
“The idea of starting a foundation stemmed from all the generosity we received while experiencing the life-changing event of Trenton’s injury. We had collected a couple of storage units of durable medical equipment and wanted to ‘pay it forward’ because we didn’t need all the donated equipment. We also wanted to help others navigate through the unknown waters of catastrophic events that occur in people’s lives. Events that turn someone’s life upside down and leave them feeling overwhelmed and stressed. Our goal is to walk alongside families and help alleviate some of the anxiety they are experiencing, hopefully creating an avenue of resources and lifelong relationships.”
