By Jerry and Becky Henry
Both Becky and I come from large families, which often means we went without. We didn’t have a lot during our childhood, but we were always taken care of and provided for. This kind of upbringing taught us to value hard work, to put our trust in God, and appreciate the generosity of others.
Our Catholic faith has been the cornerstone of our lives, the rock that guides us through both the good and hard times. We have sent all our children through Catholic schooling and have been involved with our parish throughout the years. We are incredibly blessed to be part of such an amazing Catholic community, which has provided for us in many ways.
We have been determined to give back to this community when able to do so. For our family, there was no better way to do that than in the form of a planned gift with the Catholic Community Foundation. The Foundation’s staff assisted in the development of our estate plan, and we were able to customize this plan with our personal philanthropic intentions. Giving charitably with the Foundation meant that our efforts would be multiplied and long-lived.
Becky and I have been given so much in this lifetime. Jesus calls us to be generous, and the gifts that he provides are meant to help others. Together with the Catholic Community Foundation, we were able do that. Our donation will grow and help more people than we could ever imagine because it will outlast us for future generations.
