Kelsey Testman

founder & president

Kelsey has always had a loving for all kids and has volunteered with foster children, special needs children, at a children’s hospital, and as a tutor at an elementary school. Kelsey graduated from college in 2017 and has now applied to medical school to pursue her goal of becoming a pediatric oncologist. After Kelsey’s brother died in 2015, and she learned of the extensive costs for a funeral, she knew she needed to do something for these families who have lost a child. “It is terrible enough to have your child go through a disease such as cancer, then parents not being able to afford a funeral for their child is unthinkable.” Kelsey knew this was a need from her volunteering in the oncology department at Miller Children’s Hospital and following many childhood cancer stories through social media, and sought out to make it happen. Kelsey's goal is for no parent to have to stress about the cost of a funeral, especially after experiencing the harsh realities of childhood cancer. "My brother's funeral was very important for me, it was the last chance I had to say bye, and I want all families to have the special celebration of life as Kyle did".
