Julio Ramos

We want to thank you for all the assistance your organization has given us in covering some of the costs after the unexpected loss of our son. Thanks to your assistance, we were able to pay the funeral expenses, as well as get a nice memorial stone for his gravesite. I don't wish what we went through on anyone, but I'm grateful that there are people like you to help out when others experience such difficult circumstances. And I hope that someday I will be able to help someone else who is in need of a hand.

Summer Angel Slade
Born August 6th, 2004

My name is Lynne Slade and my sweet baby girl Summer was born sleeping on August 6th, 2004. It was so devastating for my husband, Alan, and I and the rest of our family. We were going through difficult times at the time anyway. We buried my sweet girl with the temporary marker provided by the funeral home. We couldn't afford to get a marker. This was so upsetting to us. It is so hard to go to the cemetary knowing she doesn't have a marker. It made me feel so inadequate as a mother that I couldn't do that for my daughter.

I was looking on-line and I came across The Connor Kirby Memorial Foundation. I couldn't believe it. It was so amazing. I filled out an application never expecting to hear anything or maybe asked a thousand questions that I just couldn't answer. To the contrary, I got a telephone call from Adele and she was so understanding and sweet and said the would pay $500 for a grave marker for my baby. I couldn't believe it. She doesn't even know me and she is going to help me. It makes my husband and I feel so good to go looking for grave markers. It is the only we can do now for our daugther and to be able to do it is a huge step in our healing process. This Foundation is so great and gave us a little sunshine when all we saw was rain.
