Empowering futures, honoring memory – Aidan’s Light awards scholarships to deserving Kasson/Mantorville graduates. Through charitable giving, we champion youth suicide prevention and mental health support. We empower local schools with resources to raise awareness and prevent suicide.
Aidan’s Light is dedicated to our son, Aidan, who died by suicide, July 27, 2020. After his death, a close friend of his, Ella, shared a poem Aidan had written for her – titled “The Light Inside”. We thank Ella deeply for sharing this poem with us, giving us the inspiration to start and share Aidan’s Light with others who may be contemplating suicide – so they can remember their own light.
There is a light inside us all,
Some are big and bright,
Some are small and dull.
Some just turned on,
Some are old and going out.
But it’s there.
That light is beautiful,
No matter who owns that light.
