Abby's light is a foundation that was started in memory of Abby Schumer
Abby is a wonderful girl who lost her life to a brain tumor in 2012 at the age of 10.
Abby’s entire life was full of happiness and smiles. If your mood was less than happy, Abby had the ability to change that. She was a selfless girl. Her friends were more important than her possessions as she would gladly give her friends a toy that she liked just to see them smile. She saw her teachers not as taskmasters but as human beings. When the flowers of spring burst to life, Abby would make it a priority to pick them for her teachers, just to see them smile. Kindness is what Abby produced.
It is a terrible loss but her mission continues!
Provide gifts to hospitalized kids. Provide assistance to families in need. Focusing on making a child’s life better.
Providing gifts to underprivileged children during the holiday season as well as other times of the year as needs are identified. Providing assistance to school teachers in underprivileged school districts to enhance their ability to inspire children. Performing random acts of kindness. Bucks County has proclaimed November 19th, Abby’s birthday, as Random Acts of Kindness Day throughout the area. We perform acts of kindness throughout the year by giving out gift cards valued at $20.00 to Justice Clothes stores (where Abby liked to shop) . These simple acts affect lives positively in many people as identified through feedback of recipients. We call them AOKs. The foundation believes a small act of kindness can grow into a movement and it has. Through this effort, thousands of dollars have been donated to help children around the world in Abby’s honor.
