In lieu of flowers

Please consider a contribution to Foster Village.

Background

In Lieu of Flowers

In honor of Russ’ deep love for vulnerable children and his legacy of championing the underdog, our family invites you to consider a gift to Foster Village in his memory.

Foster Village bridges the gap between foster families in crisis and the broader community that wants to help. They equip caregivers with essentials, connect families with each other, and advocate for a better way forward — beyond the system. This mission deeply resonated with Russ, who walked closely with his daughter Lauren’s foster journey in Texas and lovingly mentored her kids through what he proudly called “Grandpa School.”

To continue Russ’ legacy of compassion and care, you can learn more and make a donation at fostervillageaustin.org
