Henry David Iselin Memorial Foundation

 

Hello to all whose lives were touched by our precious and heroic #HENRYTHEBRAVE.

 

As we are coming to the first anniversary of Henry’s passing (Nov. 8, 2020) we are ready to launch a new campaign. Brenna and Toby are sure you can all understand the extreme mixture of emotions they’ve faced during this last year. They’ve been sad, frustrated, heartbroken, confused, and devastated to name a few. Together they’ve worked to try to find a way to make sense and meaning of their emotions by turning to Henry’s memory. As Henry’s parents they are the guardians of his spirit and have vowed to keep his memory alive.

 

They have heard many stories about how Henry’s illness and passing has helped others in their appreciation of time with their own families. So many have told them that they have taken an extra pause for patience in realizing how lucky they are to have their child, because of Henry’s story.

 

Henry has been spreading goodness and joy since he was a little baby. His smiles! His hugs! His giggles! Brenna and Toby want to continue spreading goodness in Henry’s name.

 

They want to set up a donor-advised fund through the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. It will be named the HENRY DAVID ISELIN MEMORIAL. They have already begun working with the Foundation to make this happen but they need your help. In order to kick this off they ground they need a total of $25,000. They’ve already saved $12,500 towards this goal. Once they have the base amount then they’re able to use the fund’s proceeds to give back to nonprofit groups and organizations that were important to Henry. They can give these organizations money from this foundation in Henry’s name. Once Henry’s foundation is off the ground then donations made to it will be tax deductible. Brenna and Toby hope to have an annual fundraiser to keep the seed money growing which will keep Henry’s name and legacy alive.

 

From Brenna, “You have all been such amazing supporters of Henry and our family. We don’t ask for your support lightly. We are grateful for all you have done for our sweet boy and our family. This is our next endeavor, and we hope you will join us in this next journey.”

 

Please continue to keep the Iselin Family in your prayers, chants, meditations and all that good stuff! They feel your love.

 

Peace and love,
