This memorial fund is established in loving memory of our daughter, Lea K Richardson. Over the past weeks, we have been deeply touched by the outpouring of support from friends and family, many of whom have asked if there is a way to honor Lea’s memory through a charitable contribution. In response, we are creating this fund as a vehicle for those who wish to make a gift in her name.

At this time, we have not yet determined the specific recipient(s) of the funds. In the coming months, we will thoughtfully consider how best to use these gifts to reflect Lea’s passions for science, education, the environment, or support of medical research related to cancer. The funds may be directed to an existing non-profit organization or charity, or we may establish a new scholarship fund or initiative that furthers the values Lea held dear. We will update this page with that information.

We want to emphasize that we are not actively soliciting donations, but simply providing this option for those who have asked where they can contribute in Lea’s memory. Your support, whether through a donation, a kind word, or simply keeping Lea in your thoughts, means so much to our family. Thank you for helping us honor her life and legacy.
