After my mom passed, my brothers, father, and I wanted to keep her impact alive. When starting the foundation, we wanted to showcase the kindness she showed to all in her community. She always treated her clients with the utmost respect and compassion. She was the person to drive her clients to appointments or change lightbulbs for them. In her personal life, she invested in helping the community and, in particular, Jupiter High School. She was arguably most supportive and involved parent at Jupiter High School, the legacy she built must be continued.

My mother believed in the people. She focused on a person's soul rather than career aspiration, background, or anything like that. If you were a good person, my mom would help you in any way, shape, or form. The foundation believes that if you give anyone opportunity, they will rise to the occasion. We will provide the springboard and toolkit for career and personal development for students.
Ideally, the foundation will have at least two students enrolled in college or technical school. We will ensure access to mentors, school supplies (from textbooks to dorms supplies), and more. The students will have the opportunity to use the foundation's extensive network to help them transition from high school to higher education.
