Victor’s Legacy of Kindness
Be Part of Victor’s Legacy
My brother Victor would walk into grocery stores, find a family in need, and pay for their groceries. He also fed people experiencing homelessness. Helping others was his passion.
After he passed away, I committed to keeping that love in action through The Passionate Life Foundation.
This Thanksgiving, I’m inviting you to join us. Together, we can provide turkeys and grocery gift cards for widows and families who might otherwise go without a Thanksgiving meal.
When you give, you become part of that story: helping fill a table, make room for gratitude, and share the love and hope of Jesus Christ, our Savior.
