Zach Brokaw’s mission in life was to make the world a kinder place. Sadly, he died, at age 20, after falling asleep behind the wheel. The following Christmas, “Stuff the Stocking for Zach” was born.
Zach was my only child, and I created this fundraiser so I’d have something positive to focus on, and as a way to benefit our community (and beyond!), while honoring something he was passionate about. Zach was an Eagle Scout, and from a very young age felt compelled to help others, and did so whenever given the opportunity.
Donations collected will be distributed via Random Acts of Kindness done in his memory. Over the past nine years we have raised over $90,000, impacting THOUSANDS of lives!
Our goal for our 10th (and final!) year, is to once again bring hope and joy into people’s hearts. Recipients may include families facing medical and/or financial issues, veterans, the homeless, seniors, or someone just going through an emotionally difficult time. We may assist with auto repairs, veterinary bills, groceries and more! The possibilities are endless!
Donations may be sent to Diane Brokaw, P.O. Box 762, Wonder Lake, IL 60097, or through PayPal, via dianebrokaw@juno.com, using “sending to a friend” option only, please! Zelle is also accepted.
Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated and will be accepted through Jan. 10. For questions, call 815-276-4194.
Thank you again for your support! Let’s make our last year our biggest and best yet!
Diane Brokaw
