My Nonprofit Reviews

I was one of the lucky ones who had the great fortune of having known the little beautiful girl, Joanne, who lost her life at a very young age, after long suffering. I can tell you from a personal experience that she left a void in the life of everyone who was lucky enough to meet and enjoy her wonderful and happy personality and inner and outer beauty. This foundation has been formed by her parents, two wonderful people, who did everything to save their little girl; even suspending their own lives for years to make sure that she received the best medical care. I saw what a great toll (psychological and financial) this effort took on them, especially when they had another younger child who they were trying to support and nurture. I have had many conversations with them during and after their agonizing ordeal and I know how committed and focused they are in their intentions and efforts to make sure others will not suffer the same loss and experience the terrible agony they experienced watching helplessly their beautiful child suffer the pains as her health deteriorated over two years. I know there are many worthwhile causes and wonderful organizations which are trying to support them. In my opinion, in its intent and focus, this one ranks up there with the best of them. However, being a new foundation, it needs a lot of support and involvement from all of us to pursue its lofty objectives to save the wonderful lives which may be lost otherwise. I hope you will take the time to learn more about the foundation and support it in any way that you can. --- Alev M. Efendioglu, Ph.D., Professor of Management
