Chloe,
I think it is wonderful that you decided to start this foundation. In the short time that I worked with you and everything was taking place with Leah, you were very passionate about the people in her life who were directly affected by what was occurring. As I am sure I discussed with you, I lost my father to Cancer, Kidney Cancer to be exact and it was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. With foundations such as this, family and friends now finally have a place to help them grieve over their loved ones and a place to help the cause through fundraising. I didn’t have a place like this to give me hope and ended up holding it all in for the past 6 years. Only when my son was due on the 6 year anniversary of my father’s passing did I finally make peace with his death. I wish you best of luck and hope that this foundation reaches many people who went through what we have gone through.
