Year end donations on Behalf of Derek Zell Young

Hello everyone,

Derek was a very selfless person.  I think that was very obvious to the many people who were fortunate enough to meet him. 

So I was thinking the other day how to give back to the charities that actually helped Derek and my family during this time in our lives.  The best way I thought of was to post a list of the charities that actually helped us out one way or another.  If anyone was thinking of giving a year end donation on behalf of Derek, I would ask that you consider donating to one of these charities.  These smaller charities actually gave tangible real world help.  I am sorry if I missed any charity who helped us out.  I was not the most organized when I was in the middle of everything.

Post Hope - Let me start with this very website.  Unlike other similar websites, I have never seen an ad for a donation from this website and the donation button is not obvious.

Miracle Flights - When we needed to fly to Pittsburgh, Miracle Flights helped with some of the expense for flying.  Just click on donation.
