The family of Peggie Cheshire has asked that in lieu of flowers that donations be made to Guatemala Service Projects.
In July of last year, Peggie herself made a $100 donation to Guatemala Service Projects, a gift to acknowledge Ruthie Gianotti’s high school graduation, that directly supported our food relief efforts, with the beneficiary being Brian, a student that the Gianotti family sponsors. Donations received through this link (or via check or other payment method) will continue to support the health and education of Brian, providing a better life for him.
Peggie would be very grateful to those that chose this way to honor her memory.
Please reach out to me, Jennifer Demar, with any questions about your memorial gift.
The “right” opportunity arose when I learned about a travel opportunity for adoptive families which would include volunteer work and cultural sightseeing. Being members of that team had a profound impact on me, Lillian and Andrew. Not only were we able to make a real connection to our son’s birthplace, but we met incredibly warm and generous people, all of whom we now consider to be a part of our “family.” In addition to the volunteer work I shared with the Team, I also was able to “give back” by performing as my alter ego, “Farfel the Clown” at a barbecue for children of The Backyard School. It will remain one the proudest and happiest memories of my life.
