Who is Jeffrey?

Who is Jeffrey?
Our son Jeffrey had the most giving and generous heart. He was always creating fundraisers at school to help fellow students and their families in need.
Jeffrey tragically passed away in November of 2011 during his senior year of high school. Christmas was his favorite Holiday so we decided to honor his memory and continue his selfless service to others by providing Christmas to families in need.
