The Sue Reid Memorial Fund: Supporting Newborns, Children, and Youth

We are honoring the life of Sue Smyth Reid, a woman who dedicated her life to the protection and nurturing of children. As a social worker, foster parent, and adoptive mother, Sue was a tireless advocate for those without a voice. She was particularly known for her courage and tenderness in caring for special-needs newborns, proving that every life deserves to be met with dignity and love.

In her memory, we are establishing the Sue Reid Memorial Fund to support Child Welfare throughout the High Country. This fund acts as a vital resource for infants, children, and youth navigating hardship or instability.
