Forrest Spence Fund

In Memphis, the Forrest Spence Fund is a nonprofit community service organization supporting critically or chronically ill children and their families throughout the Mid-South. It helps address families' non-medical needs during a child's illness. The organization was founded in 2007 after its founders experienced the challenges of having a child in a pediatric intensive care unit. Support is delivered by coming alongside families during difficult periods and offering assistance, care, and guidance through their journey. The fund also supports regional children's hospitals, including Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis and other hospitals in Tennessee. Its work serves families facing childhood illness across the region.
