Support Leo's Mission: Gazebo for Hospice Patients

This year, Leo is turning 15 and, in lieu of birthday presents, he is once again asking for donations to support his annual birthday charity. For 2024, Leo has chosen Jefferson County Hospice as the beneficiary, with a heartfelt goal: raising $2,500 to purchase the supplies needed to build a beautiful gazebo in the hospice garden. This gazebo will provide patients and their families a tranquil, shaded space to spend time outdoors, surrounded by nature’s serenity.

Leo selected this cause in honor of his grandmother, Lovie, who passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. Hospice played a vital role in her care during her final days, leaving a profound impact on Leo. Lovie cherished spending time in her garden, and Leo wants to honor her memory by offering this peaceful experience to others facing similar journeys.

"Lovie always wanted to be outside in her garden but she needed to be in the shade. It makes me happy to honor her memory by helping bring this other people during the hardest time in their life." - Leo

Our family is committed to matching every dollar donated to help Leo reach his goal of $2,500. Students from BOCES have generously volunteered to construct the gazebo once the materials are purchased, ensuring that every contribution makes a meaningful difference.

Your support, no matter the size, will help bring this vision to life. Together, we can create a space that offers comfort and connection for hospice patients and their loved ones.
