The Ernestine Marie Foundation is a non-profit organization, set up to help individuals and families who suffer from Spina Bifida. I am looking to help the families directly by donating the proceeds from community events. By mid 2008, I hope to expand the organization to help individuals and families in different states, possibly even globally, and also help individuals with other types of diseases. This foundation is set up in remembrance of my aunt who passed away when she was 3 days old from spina bifida. Her name was Ernestine Marie.
