My twin died before prom, now we’re helping others go

When my twin sister passed away just before our high school prom, it felt like my world had come crashing down. We had always dreamed of going to prom together, dressed in matching outfits and dancing the night away.

After the initial shock and sadness subsided, I knew I wanted to do something to honor my sister’s memory and help other students who may be facing similar challenges. That’s when I decided to start a scholarship fund in her name to help students who couldn’t afford to attend prom.

With the support of our community, we were able to raise enough money to send several students to prom, giving them the chance to create special memories that they will cherish for a lifetime.

Although I will always miss my twin sister and the moments we should have shared together, I find comfort in knowing that her memory lives on through the joy and happiness we are able to bring to others.
