This fund is to honor a godly woman and friend Marilyn Frances Peterson.

Mission Statement The purpose of this fund is to break the generational curse of poverty, keep families together and help families become self-sufficient and off government assistance.

Who Was She? Friends and family called her “Frances”. She made her mark in this world as a Security Guard in Jersey City and as a crossing guard on Grant and Jackson in Jersey City. She wasn’t just a guard though, she was a mentor, a friend, a shoulder to lean on, a giver and she blessed those children with Christmas gifts, warm clothes, food and wisdom.

From drug addicts, to drug dealers, to mamas, papas, and the poor…she fed people and cared about them when no one else did and helped them to get their dignity back.
