"Losing our son, after only spending a few precious hours with him was hard enough, but the thought of having to plan a funeral was just overwhelming. The Jordan Rader Foundation was there for us every step of the way.
Victoria came to our house the day after I came home from the hospital, and offered to help us in any way she could. She suggested things that I would have overlooked or may never even thought of, like having a picture board at the funeral, videotaping the service, and having a guest book. She helped us decide on a funeral home, she helped me pick out a poem to be read at the funeral, she provided the guest book for us, and she even arranged for her pastor to do the service. When she asked if she could come to the funeral, along with other members of The Jordan Rader Foundation, we were very touched. It meant so much to us that they came to honor our son's life.
The Jordan Rader Foundation was able to help us financially, which we are so very thankful for....but, more importantly, Victoria was there for us emotionally. The Jordan Rader Foundation serves a much needed purpose."

"We were expecting our son to live a long life. It was horrible that he died when he was only 1 month old. We were not prepared to deal with anything. Without the loving care that The Jordan Rader Foundation gave us, we wouldn't have any good memories of our son's funeral. Now we have a beautiful and loving memory that we are very grateful for. They hugged and held my wife at a time when she couldn't even hold herself up. We are very touched."
