In Memory of Patricia Walker

Patricia came in to our lives through "The Penguin Project" in our school system. It is a special needs play where children with special needs are paired with a Mentor that helps them learn their lines, say their lines, helps when they have hard days etc.

From day one she was kind, patient and loving with Bella. They were the same age but she was years ahead of Bella in many ways. She became like part of the family for Bella. We went through 2 years, 2 plays with her as Bella's Mentor. They developed a bond and friendship that would last forever.

Sadly Patricia's life was cut short last night and her parents, Will and CIndy, and her siblings are going to need everyone's help. They are an amazing family! We bonded with them and their family over the years. They even allowed Patricia and her sister to come hang out with Bella and included Bella in their birthday party.

Anyone that knew Patricia could see what a great young person she was. She stood up for Bella with a ferocious attitude when needed but was also very patient when Bella tested her with bad days at practice.

We don't have words to help them through this, but we're hoping we can help ease the burdens they will face over the next few weeks financially.

Feel free to share this GoFundMe and spread the word. Very few people can come in to your Autistic child's life and make a difference the way Patricia did. We will forever be grateful for any support you can give to her parents.
