On April 8th 2022 at 11:19am, we lost our 19 year old daughter, Avery Natal in a tragic car accident on her way home from college. She was going to school to be a child psychiatrist. Avery was the most tender hearted, sweetest, most loving child ever, almost to a fault. She was diagnosed with OCD in the second grade. It was a long, tough road but she fought through it. It made her who she was and
that is an incredibly loving, giving, selfless young woman. I remember when she was maybe 9 years old she said, “Mom, I know why God gave me OCD. It’s because he wants me to help other kids with it.” From then on she knew what she wanted to do with her life. Her tragic accident that took her life way too soon made Mike and I realize, she is not done with fulfilling her dream. So we decided to start a foundation in her name. Our goal is to help kids fulfill their dreams by helping them through education. To handout scholarships yearly to students who have the same qualities that Avery had. That is what Avery would want. Several other reason’s we formed the “Avery Natal Memorial Scholarship Foundation”:
1. We want Avery’s name to live on, helping others achieve their goals and dreams, that Avery had set forth to accomplish herself for others. This is what she would have wanted from us.
2. To remind everyone that family time is precious, creating everlasting memories, photos and videos are priceless.
3. To remind everyone that “TIME” is your most precious priority. You never know when your “TIME” will be up, no money, car or job can replace “TIME” and “MEMORIES”. Your donations, sponsorships, door prizes, volunteer work and precious time to help make this a successful fundraiser means the world to Monique, Peyton and myself. Knowing that Avery’s passion for helping others will live on each year is priceless to us. God Bless you, your family and business for your donation,
Love,
Mike, Monique, Peyton and “Avery” Natal
