No thanksBreda Donovan-Depietri hasn't added a story.
Marc Javan is a 12-year-old boy in 7th grade at St. Andrew School. After tragically losing his Mom to a heart attack in the Philippines when he was only 7, Marc’s Dad decided to return to Chicago and continue their St. Andrew family tradition. This provided them with the added bonus of being with Marc’s brother and his family here in Chicago.
Unfortunately, on February 18, 2022 Marc’s Dad passed away from natural causes leaving Marc orphaned. During this time, Marc’s brother, Gerald, was privately battling cancer. Gerald lost his battle with cancer just a short time later on April 25, 2022.
Despite these devastating losses, Marc is a resilient young boy. Marc is brilliantly smart and has a bright future. However, Marc was left with no means to fund his continuing education.
Marc currently lives with Breda and Pablo Depietri who also have a daughter, Oonagh, in 7th grade at St. Andrew School. Breda is a pro bono attorney and long-time member of the St. Andrew Community. Please join them in raising the necessary funds for Marc’s continued education and related expenses.
