Kelsey’s Story
WHAT WOULD KELSEY DO? (WWKD)
On December 10, 2017, we lost our beautiful Kelsey Foss due to causes only the Lord knows.
She was an amazing woman, and not just because she was ours, but because she truly loved and cared about Jesus, Jeremy, her beautiful girls Annabelle and Maddy, her family, her friends, co-workers, patients, and just about everyone she ever came in contact with. She loved life and dance and the people of Haiti.
In working through our grief, we decided that the best way to honor Kelsey, to never forget her and the kind of woman she was, meant we had to do something. Something that reflected her love. As one of our close friends reflected on the morning of her memorial service, “with tears in my eyes, I pulled on my superhero shirt and asked, what would Kelsey do?” That has become our purpose.
So now we move forward. We are a Washington State not for profit corporation with a 501(c)3. We look forward to you joining us on our adventure!
