Britney Gengel was a kind, caring, and loving student at
Lynn University. She traveled to Haiti in 2010 to work for an aide group, and
felt very passionate about the children there. Hours before her death, she
texted her parents, saying that she would like to open a orphanage there, to
even more help the orphans living there. Hours later, a giant earthquake hit
Haiti, killing hundreds. For thirty three days, Britney’s family waited for news, and finally, they got it.
Britney was dead. After grieving, the Gengles decided to make sure Britney’s
memory would never be forgotten. With Brit in mind, her parents created the be
like Brit foundation, a foundation to raise money to build an orphanage for
kids at Haiti. The building was finally completed in 2012, thanks to all the
donations sent in by millions of people. It houses 33 boys and 33 girls.
So this entire thing, I felt was really amazing, and I
believe that Brit’s parents deserve to be named Living heroes because of it. To
go from grieving or your daughter to building in orphanage in her honor, well that’s
pretty amazing.
