Submission time is upon us for the 2013 Herrick Family Legacy candidate. I have heard from specific family members regarding the following:
Foxwell Fund
Dan Foxwell was 39 years old. He was married, leaves behind three kids, twin boys, 8, and a daughter, 10. He was active in our church, in children's ministries, VBS, missions, you name it, he was involved in some way. He was a wonderful husband for 11 years to Natalie. He was a loving father. He was a beloved son, cousin, friend, neighbor.....

Dan had never smoked, did not have any risk factors. He
had a cough. He was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer a year ago and
his battle began. Thursday, September 19, he lost his battle
with lung cancer.
A trust fund is being set up for his children, Rylee, Conner and Tyler.
Project Homecoming
http://projecthomecoming.net/
For the past several years my cousin Jim Conningsby has been the head of Project Homecoming, a non-profit that was created to help the families of New Orleans recover from Katrina's damaging blow so many years ago. It's amazing to hear how many people are still without their homes, and he has devoted his life to helping these families return.
Kenny/Gisselle Herrick
Due to the government shutdown, contractors (which Kenny is) were not permitted to return until Congress passed a budget, so Kenny went 16 days without pay. Contractors were not allowed to apply for Unemployment or they would be dismissed. Kenny kept his health benefits packages, but was charged later for his portion. It has been difficult to "catch-up" on rent and other bills being without pay for 16 days. There is also the possibility that they may have a new baby coming in February. Kenny/Gisselle were submitted without their knowledge and were reluctant to participate but relented after discussions with Dean/Linda Herrick.

I encourage other Herrick family members to provide any additional candidates they believe worthy.
