At the Parker G. Colvin Memorial Fund, we believe that no child should face a
serious illness alone. We are dedicated to supporting families during their most
challenging times.

Our mission is to provide emotional, financial, and logistical assistance to
families with seriously ill children, helping them stay together and focused on
what matters most: love, care, and healing. We aim to ensure that every child
can navigate the journey of illness with dignity, support, and the strength of
family and love by their side.

ABOUT PARKER

This memorial fund was created in memory of Parker Grant Colvin, a much loved
child, brother, and grandson. Parker was born in Columbus, Ohio in 2020
alongside his twin brother Asher, and passed in the arms of his mom and dad at
six months old.

During those six months, he tried his first food – applesauce. He had a small
birthmark on his cheek that his dad and mom (and now brother) affectionately
refer to as “the Parker marker”. He and his brother were one month old for their
first holiday season, and Parker could look at holiday lights for hours. He
laughed when his mom sang to him.

The last time his mom and dad saw him smile was when he saw his dad walk into
the hospital room on the day of his cancer diagnosis. The night before he
passed, he opened his eyes for the first time in days to look at his parents,
and hold their hands. Palliative medical professionals say that this is common
in children; they use their remaining strength to connect with their loved ones
as a final gift.




OUR MISSION

Some say that there would be no more peaceful way to pass than surrounded by
loved ones. While Parker had his mom and dad throughout the duration of his
illness, many children are not afforded that luxury. Financial barriers such as
insurance maintenance, transportation costs, lodging costs, and other childcare
make it difficult for children to have the support needed during some of the
most difficult days of their lives. Family proximity has been scientifically
linked to better psychological and physical outcomes, including shorter hospital
stays. We aim to make this essential available by providing emotional,
logistical, and financial support to families in need by assisting in coverage
of:

 * Transportation costs
 * Lodging costs
 * Maintenance of proximity of siblings
 * Medical costs
