In memory of hero Justin Lefebvre
The Justin Lefebvre Foundation took shape after the untimely death of our beautiful big boy in June 2017. Justin, 8, was a pampered child, a wonderful son and big brother, a friend with a zest for life, healthy, athletic and blessed with a wealth of knowledge at such a young age.
By donating his organs after his death, our little hero inspired us so much with such a great and generous gift of life.
Our Missions
