Raising funds for Aidan's future and well being

Stephanie Johnson Garrett, our beloved Stone Ridge Class of '88 sister, tragically and unexpectedly passed away in late January this year (2023).  Her son Aidan, a high school junior, was her world. She was an incredibly proud Mom and wanted only the best for him.

This fund is intended to be used by Stephanie's Mom, Aidan's Grandmother, and his dad, Jason in ways that support Aidan as he finishes high school and preps to embark on his college journey.

Thank you for your generous support.

Update November 4, 2023. Message from Jason:

"Good morning. Just an FYI, the monies was well spent for Aidan, we were able to get his mothers car ... to my mechanic to get it road ready and to the body shop to repair the out side to get him on the road. That what he wanted it meant a lot to him so we got it done. Thx again for the Blessing for Aidan."

.." He's doing really well in football and I believe academically as well, looking at colleges. Had his senior night for football two weeks ago. His teams in the playoff and he had high rankings in the whole state of Maryland for yards run in and more football stuff I'm trying to learn!". ~ Leigh, and I will try to post photos of his new car! Which was his mom's car! It was her dream to get this car fixed up by the time he got his license, which was in June of this year... just after his 17th birthday.

Stephanie's mom, Natalie and Jason, Aidan's dad, are coordinating the use of donated funds! Thank you so much for your continued support! Please feel free to donate again, as Stephanie did help with things coming up like senior year needs, prom, graduation, college trips, and upcoming college books and expenses that she would have been a part of supporting.  

Mostly we want her to know that we've got her back and we want to show her son that he is loved. Not just by his mom forever, but by those of us who have had a window to his world.  Aidan, we love you and we are your fans!
