What We're About

Who We Are

We are the ones who have been left behind.  In January 2021, our beautiful Katy took her own life at the young age of 17 and changed her family and friend's world forever.  In order to cope with the day-to-day struggle of losing Katy, we have raised enough money to  fund the Kaitlynn Jade  Memorial scholarship endowment fund for students
