Why are we doing this?
Our daughter and grandson were recently taken from us through the act of a violent crime – we want to honor them in a meaningful way. Marrina loved being a mother and she had a deep passion for helping children and actually just started school to be a teacher to help kids. It was always amazing just to watch how children just gravitated to her where ever she went.
Our goal is to honor the memory of our daughter and grandson who were murdered in June by helping as many children as we can through our program.
How can you get involved?
If your school would like to participate, we would love to meet with you or a designated contact to understand your school’s specific needs. All we need is a small space, like a closet or shelf, and we’ll take care of the rest, including stocking and restocking throughout the school year. You know more than we do who needs help and we would love to assist in meeting some of those needs. It seems that kids get overwhelmed with help from groups and organizations when school starts an than not so much the rest of the year.
Through this program, we hope to extend Marrina’s love for children and help the next generation succeed, while honoring God and supporting our community. I cant tell you how much I live my city!
