"Mommy’s Light Lives On Fund was founded by Mary Murphy, a Newtown Square, PA resident, less than three months before she died of cancer," says Mommy’s Light President, Laura Munts. "Mary and her son created a plan to keep her spirit alive by preserving special traditions they shared. That philosophy is the basis for our program today. Currently, our services are available to young people in southeastern PA, southern NJ and northern DE."

Mommy’s Light Lives On Fund estimates that 20,000 young people in the Delaware Valley are dealing with the potential or actual death of their mothers.
