Garrett's Wings

    Meet Garrett, the inspiration for this organization that bears
    his name.  In August of 2007, what is likely most parents'
    worst nightmare became our reality as our precious boy was
    diagnosed with a fatal neurological condition called Infantile
    NCL.  As we attempted to deal with this devastating news and
    ultimately adjust to losing him on December 30th of 2007, we
    also realized how truly blessed we were to possess not only
    the resources to provide for his comfort and care during his
    final days, but also a supportive network of family, friends,
    neighbors, colleagues and service providers who helped us
    through it all.

    Our experiences during this ordeal also made us realize that not everyone in a
    similar situation is as fortunate.  So, in an effort to help us cope and heal... to make
    some good evolve from this heartbreak... and to give Garrett life beyond his two and
    a half years here with us, we've established Garrett's Wings.  Please take a look
    around to learn more about our purpose and efforts.  We hope you'll find some way
    in which you would like to contribute to our mission and, in doing so, will help give
    Garrett's Wings to children and families who need them.
    Lifting up little angels through research, comfort and care.
