Born from Love, Growing in Hope
In 1993, after the heartbreaking loss of her teenage son Kennedy Austin, Ms. Ethel Gardner chose to transform her grief into a gift for others. She founded the Kennedy Austin Foundation so no family would ever have to face their darkest moments alone.
Today, we carry forward her legacy of love, serving the Tri-City community—Pomona, Claremont, and La Verna, California—with free support services that have touched over 10,000 lives.
“From grief to grace, we walk together.”
