Our Story
I established Patsy’s Grace in honor of my mother, Patricia Grace FitzPatrick. When she was little, she was called Patsy — and to say she is the embodiment of her maiden name is an understatement.
She has a beautiful gift of presence, of quietly listening and observing the needs of those around her, gently bestowing peace and kindness. To have been so deeply and thoughtfully loved by her brought about a great love of children in me. I had five of my own in seven and a half years, and while they are all young adults now, I remember the days when my mom would call me as she was heading to the store, lovingly asking if I could use some diapers and baby wipes.
Oh, how I always did — and I know that there is ever a need in communities for them. So, may the spirit of her beautiful acts of grace, through our nonprofit, make life a little easier for those caring for precious children.
