Story behind the business

The Josette Beddell Memorial Foundation was founded by Mary Beddell with the help of many family and friends to honor her mother, Josette, who passed away from breast cancer in 2002 when Mary was only 18 years old. Watching community come together and rally around her mother, Mary was inspired to create something that could offer real, immediate help to families going through the same fight. What began as a daughter’s tribute has become a powerful community resource, providing short-term financial support and reminding families they’re not alone.
