Our Mission

The Brady Keep Foundation strives to provide support to families of children who are facing end of life. Families shouldn't have to decide if they are going to work to meet their basic needs or if they are going to be with their child at end of life. Our primary focus is to allow families to be with their children at end of life, alleviating the burden of financial hardship. 

Brady was a vibrant, bright, and water loving child who lived almost 14 years before going to live his best life with Jesus. Brady had 13 different diagnoses, but wasn't defined by any of them. He was defined by his infectious laugh, his strong desire to show everyone his g-tube, and his ability to twirl a straw in ways a magician could only dream of. 

During the last 6 months of Brady's life, I was able to work at his bedside, not missing any moments of his journey, and I'm beyond grateful. I wish for all families, whose child is facing end of life, to not have to make a choice between working and spending time with their child. After all, we don't get any do-overs.  When you know your child is going to die, and there is nothing you can do about it, you want to focus only on your child, to cherish all the memories you can, and not worry about anything else.
