Last year, a few friends created The Brant Walton Memorial Fund/Dream Hope Believe Foundation in honor of my husband. For those who are newer here, my husband died almost two years ago at the age of 34 from colorectal cancer.

The fund is now accepting grant applications to provide funds for children who have lost a parent to cancer. The recipients can apply for funds for whatever might be most useful to them (childcare help, tuition, extracurricular activities, camp, etc).

If you know of anyone that could use some extra help, please share this info. The website is dreamhopebelieve.org
Thanks,
Melissa

    Hi Melissa:)
    What a wonderful cause. I will certainly keep this in mind, if I meet anyone that needs that.

    I hope all is 'tolerable' as it can be for you.

    Thank you for your post - it's always so nice to see you:)

    Melissa,
    You are a beautiful woman. Reading this made me both cry and smile. I will pass this information on to some families that I know who have children who could use a boost.

    I am thinking of you and Will during the holidays. I know this is a hard time. I pray it is filled with joy too.

    Hugs, love and aloha,
    Kathleen

    Hi Melissa,

    I just went to the website and thought what a very special way to honor Brant and help others.
    Brant has to be looking down and smiling. Thank you for taking the time and energy to do this.

    Hugs,
