During this holiday season I hope and pray that my loving son from above is able to take some pride in the strikingly beautiful and good children he loved so much but so sadly left behind. He lives on through these beautiful children. This fund has been set up primarily as a higher education fund for these six young children to ensure that they have the opportunity for the future that their late father envisioned for them. ----------------------------------------------------The loss of a child is the most devastating tragedy a parent can experience. Bringing a child into the world is an extention of a parent and the loss of that child, regardless of age, creates a void that can never be filled. In this case the void is greater than can ever be imagined for six specific reasons.  The loss of our son in a horrific motorcycle accident in the Philippines was as devestating an event as any parent could ever imagine. The financial cost of the hospital stay before he passed was also catastrophic. Jared was  a grandchild of holocaust survivors and he was also  a tireless worker who at times worked three jobs to provide for his family in the Philippines.  As devestating as it is to lose a child, what makes Jared's story even more tragic is his leaving behind six small children to be raised by a single mom. Jared was the sole provider for his family and with his passing leaves nine year old twins Isaac and Isaah, seven year old Ashley, six year old Athena, three year old Adam and one year old Andre to grow up without their devoted father and the financial support he provided. Andre takes a photo of his dad to bed each night to keep the memory alive. The financial situation these young children find themselves in as a result of a driver in the Philippines failing to look both ways when he pulled out onto the road and drove into my son will impact them for the reast of their lives. The purpose of this GoFundMe effort is to establish a mechanism to priovide funding for these children in addition to the efforts of family. For those of you not familiar with the living conditions in the Phippines, poverty is the overwhelming situation. Many of you have inquired how best to honor the memory of our son. The answer is quite simple: help in the support of these beautiful young children and allow them to receive a proper education and stay out of poverty as their devoted father strived so hard to do. Our initial goal is to raise $36,000 (double chai) or about $6,000 on average for each child. This money will be used to help their single mom in covering their food, shelter, clothing, medical bills, transportation, education, and so forth over an extended time period. Of particular concern is ensuring that their education includes English as a first language which is essential to ensuring opportunities as each child reaches maturity. An adequate education is the only mechanism for escaping a life in poverty. The money you donate will help to ensure that these children escape third world poverty.  Your thoughtfulness will be well appreciated and serve to honor the memory of our son by helping those six small childfren he left behind. Every dollar counts.
