Youth Memorial Fund
The Youth Memorial Fund was established to
benefit young persons with physical disabilities or medical expenses related to
an accident. This fund was created by the parents of Barry Freeman, Bryan
Martin, T. Scott Wideman, and Michael Wilson, four young men who lost their
lives in a tragic hayride accident at a youth event in 1984.
The fund aims to benefit one or more young people annually, with grants up to $2,000
per person. Grant money may be used for items such as: rehabilitation equipment, accessibility
modifications in a home or vehicle, mobility devices, and expenses related to a
long-term medical condition.
Eligibility
- young persons between the ages of 14-25 who have physical disabilities or medical expenses relating to an accident or long-term physical condition
- financial need
- resident in Ontario.
Application Procedure
Potential recipients or persons/churches
acting on their behalf should send a letter outlining applicant’s history,
need, and what any grant money would be used towards. Please include the youth’s full name and
birth date.
