For the past few years, we have been able to financially assist some area families with expenses pertaining to the loss of their child. For full disclosure, we are a small organization and, sadly, cannot financially assist every family in the Rochester, NY area. Therefore, each request is handled on a case-by-case basis. If you are a bereaved family who has suffered this devastating loss or you know of a family that may need our financial assistance, please email us to see if we can be of assistance financially.
Expenses our organization financially assists with include:
- Services, funerals, or burials
- Small headstones
- Cremations
- Urns, Niches, flowers, or memorial jewelry (ashes)
To adhere to our mission, the Criteria for a financial gift from the Josh Rojas Foundation is:
- Sudden, unexpected death of the child, who is age 21 or below
- Family must reside in New York State (Buffalo, Rochester, or Syracuse area)
- Any financial gift will be sent directly to the funeral home or monument provider chosen by the family
