Background
Vivian Marie Lowe Shank dedicated her life to the well-being and empowerment of youth, embodying the spirit of selfless service as a Social Worker for LaRue Carter and Indiana MENTOR Inc. For a decade, Vivian opened her home and heart to over 10 foster children, providing more than just shelter- she provided a sanctuary filled with love, encouragement, and unwavering support.
Vivian believed in the potential of every child who came into her care. She nurtured their independence, taught them self-reliance, and equipped them with the tools to advocate for themselves. Her devotion extended beyond the basics, reaching into the realm of their dreams and aspirations. She was a guiding light, illuminating paths that might have otherwise remained unseen.
The establishment of the Vivian Marie Lowe Shank Memorial Fund is a testament to her enduring legacy. This fund is not just about providing financial support; it's about continuing Vivian's mission of uplifting foster children. The funds will cater to both immediate and long-term needs- from something as simple yet significant as ensuring each child has their own luggage, to supporting specialized employment training for those who choose not to pursue college.
In honoring Vivian's memory, the fund will perpetuate her legacy of giving back to the foster care community. Each donation will directly benefit foster children within the Indiana MENTOR Network, ensuring they have the resources to thrive. Vivian's spirit of compassion and advocacy will live on through every child who receives this support, reminding us all of the profound impact one person can have on many lives.
Through this memorial fund, Vivian's love, support, and advocacy will continue to echo, fostering a brighter future for generations to come. Contribute
