Last week, our Pumpkin Shell family lost someone truly special. Kecia’s mom passed away, and while words can’t capture everything she meant to this program, we want to take a moment to honor her.
For years, Kecia and her mom have shown up for Pumpkin Shell in ways big and small — quietly, faithfully, and with so much heart. That kind of support doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from love, from believing in what a program like this means for kids and families, and from showing up again and again because it mattered to them.
Kecia, we are holding you close right now. Your mom’s presence lives on in every part of this community she helped shape — and we are endlessly grateful for the both of you.
Sending love and comfort to Kecia and her entire family during this difficult time. 💛
