Jennifer M. Hayes
Jennifer M. Hayes, Founder, CEO, and President is the mother of three children and
grandmother of one. She has been a widow since 2011, after 19 years of marriage to the late Graham E. Hayes, II. Mrs. Hayes has written about a part of her journey in becoming a widow and having no other choice but to trust in God to survive in a blog, titled "Lord You Promised".
Experiencing such a great loss, dealing with extreme grief, and trying to navigate a new life with three children who were each also grieving in different ways was very overwhelming.
It is only by faith, with the love and grace of God, and with the help of family, friends, church, and community that they were able to move forward on their journey of life. In honor of Mr. Graham E. Hayes, II, and knowing the challenges that surviving spouses and children face, especially in continuing education, and being grateful for the help and assistance they received, the Hayes family wants to give back and to help others that unfortunately face similar circumstances by trying to assist with educational expenses for youth and young adults who have lost a parent due to death.
