A fundraiser for Henry Perez and family

For the past two decades, Henry Perez has been the welcoming face of EF in Boston. Henry’s smile and good nature are legendary, and his warmth has made generations of EF staff feel at home.

We were devastated to learn that Henry’s family experienced a tragic loss this week. His 8-year old son, Aiden died very unexpectedly as a result of complications from asthma. Aiden was the light of Henry’s life and at the center of Henry and his wife, Kircis’ growing family. Although Aiden’s asthma sometimes got in the way, he loved soccer; he was fascinated by the universe and loved space; he had an amazing sense of humor; and most of all he loved his brothers and never wanted to be away from them.

We know that the extended EF community wants to support Henry during this incredibly difficult time. As part of that support, we would like to establish a fund to help with education expenses for Aiden’s siblings. Of course, money can’t solve all problems, but we can help Henry and his family plan for the future while showing him how much we care for and appreciate him. Please give as generously as you can.
