<p>Jefrie, Isaiah’s brother, writes the following:</p>
<p><em>Isaiah Rivera is always known to be a selfless, honest, caring, hardworking, individual. He would give the shirt off his back for anyone in need and not ask for anything in return. A husband who ensures that his wife is safe and secure and displays unconditional love. A father, who would give anything to make sure that his children are safe and living a fruitful and comfortable life. A brother who always knew how to make his siblings laugh even in dark times. A son who always makes sure that his parents are ok, and shows deep appreciation to them. He is also one that is a true fighter against hardships and finds the silver lining in tough times. We are hoping to help him realize that he doesn’t need to face this alone, to know that all of his family, friends, loved ones and strangers are rooting for him all the way as he fights cancer once more. Any support is deeply appreciated.</em></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Happy Soles Second Annual Golf Outing<br />
June 23rd, 2025<br />
12pm start<br />
McCalls Golf Club</h2>
<p>Location:<br />
McCalls Golf Club, Upper Darby</p>
<p>Description:<br />
Happy Sole&#8217;s 2nd annual golf outing will be at McCall&#8217;s Golf Club in Upper Darby on Monday, June 23rd at noon.</p>
<p>Starts with a lunch, 1pm shotgun start, and dinner after with a two hour open bar. If you&#8217;re not a golfer, you can sign up just for the dinner. There will be raffle prizes as well. All proceeds benefit Happy Soles and their efforts to make cancer patient&#8217;s lives better. Happy Soles is a DELCO-based charity that has three main missions.</p>
<p>First, they create care packages for people going through cancer treatment (socks, lip balm, tchotchkes to make them smile).</p>
<p>Second, they help fund IVF treatments for oncofertility patients (oncofertility is a fancy term to describe people with compromised fertility due to cancer treatment; IVF allows them to go have the families they always wanted).</p>
<p>Third, they sponsor the Janet Bollinger Doherty Memorial Law Scholarship for a Delco resident to defray the cost of law school This was created in memory of my sister. Janet was born and raised in Springfield, became a lawyer at a premier Philly Law Firm and lost her 9-year battle with breast cancer in December 2022.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">In Loving Memory of Aria</h2>
<div></div>
<div>Aria passed away after a courageous battle with a rare and severe form of meningitis, despite being fully vaccinated. She was surrounded by the love of her devoted parents, Frank and Sabina, and her amazing big brother, Frankie, who remained by her side throughout her short time at St. Christopher’s Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia.</div>
<p>Aria passed away suddenly at the age of 6 from a very rare and severe type of bacterial meningitis. This was all extremely sudden; on Thursday 6/5 her family celebrated her kindergarten graduation, on Thursday 6/12 they were planning her funeral.</p>
<p>This <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-arias-family-through-this-tragedy?" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>GoFundMe</strong></a> was established to help her parents, Frank and Sabina Parker, handle the financial burden of medical bills, funeral costs, and lost wages. Anything extra will certainly go a long way towards helping this family, including Aria&#8217;s amazing big brother, navigate life without this special little girl.</p>

<p>Sensory FIT’s current location at the Exton Square Mall is being demolished. Without urgent funding, this life-changing space will be lost. To save it, these folks are working to raise $100,000 and every dollar from our 17th annual golf outing on August 8th will go directly toward Sensory FIT’s relocation and programming.</p>
