Patrick’s Mom’s Dream Come True

Donation protected
“…and she loved a little boy very, very much – even more than she loved herself.” - From “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein


Facing her final struggle after a brave fight with cancer, LeeAnn Brady has one wish: to know that her only son will have the means to attend college.
 
A straight-A student in the eighth grade, Patrick’s goal is to attend college and become a teacher, a dream his mom was unable to realize in her own educational journey.

LeeAnn nevertheless rose to the top of her profession through innate intelligence, hard work and a winning personality, all of which her son has in spades. 

LeeAnn had provided for Patrick through a life insurance policy at work, but this policy lapsed after she left the company to start her own small business in March. Two months later she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The family's savings have also been virtually wiped out by medical bills, and the debt is rising.

Before LeeAnn passes on, the family would like to establish a small college fund to ensure that her final wish will come true – that Patrick will attend college.

Any donation is deeply appreciated.

To give you an idea of the costs of a public, four-year, Florida university, consider the following:

$810/month for housing or $202/week

$813/month for tuition or $203/week

$524/month for food (meal plan) or $131/week

$500/semester for books/supplies or about $100/book

We sincerely appreciate the love and support of our family and friends and find comfort and hope in your love.
