The Jordan Bot Memorial Fund
In September 2005 MACMH received a generous financial contribution from more than 80 family members and friends in memory of Jordan Charles Bot, who died at the young age of 24.
In life, Jordan is remembered by his sister Erin as someone who "understood that he was dealt a lot of obstacles but never let any of them keep him from reaching for the stars." To his parents, Fran and Joan Bot, Jordan was 'a talented and valued young man whose wide beautiful smile, his blue eyes, his love of animals, his place in our family, his gentleness, leaves a huge hole in our lives."
Throughout his life, Jordan's parents confronted enormous obstacles to find appropriate services and support for their son who, though he faced many learning and developmental challenges, pursued his passion for simulating, operating, and building and modifying machines. In establishing a memorial in their son's name, the Bots' sincerest wish is for others to "Please remember our son." Their hope is that the memorial established to honor Jordon's memory will be used in direct service to parents and children to provide adequate and appropriate mental health services because, the Bots believe that "no parent and no child should have to struggle so hard to receive appropriate services."
The Jordan Bot Memorial fund will be used provide trainings that help parents learn how to find adequate and appropriate mental health services for their children.
If you would like to contribute to MACMH's parent trainings, please send your donation to MACMH at 165 Western Avenue N, Suite 2, St. Paul, Minn. 55102. Please write "parent training" in the memo line. |
