Aidan Thomas Stevens Scholarship Fund

43130188_157297970425139_r.jpegDear family and close friends,

            In memory of our sweet son, Aidan Thomas Stevens, we are starting a GoFundMe  fundraising site for those of you who’ve expressed interest in showing your financial support. The money will be used for educational/literacy purposes of some kind for future children to benefit from the generosity of our community. For all the donors we will communicate with you at a later date once more formal decisions about the fund are sorted out.  Meanwhile, we ask that you extend this link to only those who’ve expressed interest in donating and to no one else. This fund, and the access to it, is not meant for public posting or spreading around to friend groups.  We ask that you take this point very seriously as our family is still in the very early stages of grief and do not want any additional publicity around our loss.

In love and warmth,

  Lilly and Sean

Additional Info regarding Use of Funds per Rachel Miller Ardell:   Once we reach our goal, collected funds will be deposited into a "holding" bank account under Milford Ardell's name.   At that time Lilly and Sean will then make the final decisions as to where the money will go, which will likely be a combination of a scholarship donation to a local school as well as a literacy charity.  Thank you again for your support.
