GOFUNDME Narrative
On July 18, 1969, while riding with Senator Ted Kennedy to the last ferry of the night back to the mainland, Mary Jo Kopechne died when their car launched off the Poucha Pond bridge into the cold, fast moving waters on Chappaquiddick. Left there for ten hours, Mary Jo slowly suffocated in the last air bubble inside the upside down car. She was found the next morning still clinging to the edge of the car seat, her head arched upward seeking air. Sometime during the night, she had died.
All her hopes, dreams, and potential for good, seemed to have also died with her that night. The work for the poor, elderly, and uneducated, she had wanted so passionately to help, ended in those black waters of Chappaquiddick.
For almost 50 years, the public has yearned for something to be done to vindicate Mary Jo's life; a life that was wrenched so cruelly from her family and from the political arena where she could have contributed , along with the ideals of Robert Kennedy, to fulfill the promises made to so many deserving people in America.
Now, finally, Mary Jo, has another chance to complete her life's work! Misericordia University and my son, Bill, and I, have established in her name, a scholarship that can continue Mary Jo's work by funding other men and women in their life's work. It helps provide them with the finances they need to contiue on their path!
