Supporting the family of Jeremy & Avielle Richman

After the death of Jeremy Richman, a dedicated father, husband, son, and friend, this page has been created by Mike Hensel (Jennifer's brother) to support Jennifer Hensel and their children directly. This is the only authorized fundraising site for fundraising for Jennifer and her children.

A note from Jennifer:

As many of you know, Monday morning we experienced yet another tragedy when Jeremy completed suicide.

Side by side since 1991, Jeremy and I walked a path of deep friendship, marriage, and parenthood. As you may know, our first born, our beautiful Avielle was murdered at Sandy Hook school in 2012.
In 2013, we founded the Avielle Foundation to honor her life: www.aviellefoundation.org

Our second daughter, Imogen (4 years) and son Owen (2 years) brought a renewed sense of joy and hope to our lives. Imogen and Owen are imaginative, fun, caring, sweet, curious and RIDICULOUSLY loving. They are a true reflection of Jeremy and me.

The work of the Avielle Foundation is meaningful. But my champion and the love of my life is the person who had every tool in the toolbox at his disposal. He succumbed to the grief that he could not escape. Now we also honor Jeremy through the continued work of our foundation.

Our family is our true legacy.

To parent our children without my champion shatters my heart and I will love my best friend forever. I am grateful for your support and donations.
