Fight Pediatric Cancer in Penelope's Memory
Donation protected
Hi,
Our names are Michael and Courtney Stryszowski. We lost our brave and beautiful 2-year-old daughter Penelope to cancer Tuesday (10/18/22). Although her battle has ended far too soon, her fearless spirit remains strong and has now turned its focus to helping others who are or may one day be in a similar fight.
So I guess you could say that we are trending right now for all the unfortunate reasons... The outpouring of love and support from so many people, many of which we have never even met, has been incredible. To date, that love and support has largely taken the form of food and flowers -- it has been a good run, but we are officially out of refrigerator space, eyeholes on our belts and vases. We are starting this GoFundMe to try to direct all that love and support into something that helps others, it is what Penny would have wanted...
For those of you that have had the privilege of knowing Penelope, you knew she was amazing at sharing. Whether it was a Veggie Straw with a friend, or a swing at the park, Penny loved to share whatever she had. Nothing would make us happier than to honor that spirit with a donation in Penelope's name to help in the fight against pediatric cancer. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to make it 'possible' for Penny to continue sharing.
In the future we will be starting the Penny Possible Foundation to support the fight against pediatric cancer. Penelope was only given 28 months in this world, but through the Penny Possible Foundation she will be able to positively impact others forever. Please stay tuned for more information in the months ahead.
