The Randy Schopen Foundation is pleased to report the following grants awarded in February and March, 2026, because of your generous support, but first, a letter from one of our recipients:

“Thank you so much for this incredible news! This is absolutely amazing! I just shared this with the family, and they are overjoyed and relieved, as they were feeling very scared, worried and hopeless. The news brought them to tears, and the family and I are in awe of the foundation’s generosity. We are so appreciative of the Randy Schopen Foundation. You are truly lifesavers and have given the family a second chance. I will be sure to share about the amazing work of your foundation with others.”
