Support Melinda Pullis and Keara Dermody

Melinda Pullis and Keara Dermody

We started out as coloring buddies in kindergarten, and now we are not only best friends, but amazing supporters for each other.

Keara lost her mom at the age of 5 to breast cancer. Always spending time at Melinda’s house they became inseperable. Melinda always thought she understood what it was like to be without a parent until the day it happened to her.

Melinda lost her dad to a heart attack at the age of 11. She never thought she could be so devastated in her life.

We know what it’s like to lose a parent first hand and how much it hurts. We weren’t involved in The Dougy Program, but we know that if we had, it would have a great impact on us.

So we ask that everyone who can, donate to this foundation because you will mean all the world to the child who gets to go this wonderful place. It doesn’t matter how much, every cent counts !
