Having multiple sclerosis is hard. But being a kid growing up with the challenges and responsibilities of having a parent with MS is hard, too. Being the child of a disabled parent makes you truly special. You learn about compassion, patience, and understanding much more quickly than kids with able-bodied parents. You often have to be more responsible and more helpful at an earlier age. But this is your version of normal, and from that comes a very special kind of love. Sadly, many disabled parents and their caretakers have a harder time paying for their children’s education because of medical expenses other people don’t have. Not necessarily because they’re indigent, but because injections and infusions and neurology visits and wheelchairs can be very costly. Having to sacrifice ANYTHING that helps your child succeed in life because of a chronic and incurable disease is more unbearable than the disability itself. Here at The PrēJax Foundation, we aim to change that. We’re a non-profit organization applying for 501 (c)(3) tax exempt status (which means your donations will soon be tax-deductible), and we exist solely to provide college tuition assistance in the form of $1000 scholarships. These go to exceptional students who either have a parent with MS or have themselves been diagnosed with MS. The Foundation’s name is a partial combination of two names, Preston and Jackson - the amazing sons of our President and founder Sylvia Longmire, who has been living with MS for 11 years. They are our true inspiration. Our funding comes from corporate donors, friends and family, and individuals across the globe whose lives have somehow been affected by MS. Whether you have a passion for providing educational opportunities to good kids or supporting a family dealing with the effects of multiple sclerosis, supporting The PrēJax Foundation is a great way to make a huge difference in people’s lives. And it’s an amazing way to reward some truly special kids.
