Uplifting Lives ~ Honoring Legacy

The PJR Family Foundation was established in loving memory of my mother Patricia—a resilient woman whose life was shaped by hardship, compassion, and an unwavering belief in helping others. After the sudden suicide of her father when she was just five years old, Patricia’s mother was left to raise four young children alone, relying on welfare and the kindness of family and her community. From that adversity, Patricia grew into a woman who deeply understood the power of compassion and the importance of giving back. 

In her honor, the PJR Family Foundation is committed to uplifting the lives of those too often forgotten. We intend to do this by providing access to educational opportunities and healthcare, including access to mental health and suicide prevention; supporting animal rights and welfare, aiding survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking, and supporting veterans and their families.

Through purposeful philanthropy, community-driven partnerships, and a legacy of love, we carry forward Patricia’s vision: a world where every individual—no matter their circumstance—has the opportunity to live with dignity, hope, and the support they deserve.
