About the Littlejohn FamilyIn July of 2012, we were involved in a car accident and our 2-year-old daughter Megan was tragically killed. The following weeks and months were very difficult for our family and we received amazing support from friends, family, and organizations in Northeast Ohio that helped us begin to heal and move forward into our “new normal”.
We very quickly realized that we wanted to honor our daughter’s memory and also help other families going through similar tragedies. And the Megan Littlejohn Foundation was born. |
Our Mission: |
Assisting children and families of children who have been tragically killed in accidents by providing therapeutic games, books, toys, and art supplies to child life specialists, psychologists and grief counselors.
Proceeds from our fundraising efforts are used to buy much-needed art supplies for the Child Life Department at Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital and for the Art Therapists at Cornerstone of Hope Grief Counseling Center. |
Our efforts support these organizations:
