Sam was a light in his family and community, a friend, a dedicated student, a rugby player, a committed worker, and someone who believed in helping others. This nonprofit was founded by those who loved him most, with the goal of extending his legacy by uplifting others.
Our family believes in the power of giving — where the impact is real, personal, and usable. Whether it's helping a student gain academic resources, providing tools and assistance for someone entering a trade, or sponsoring a young athlete in rugby, Samuel Paul is about turning loss into legacy.

Make It Beautiful.
"So many times when I'd talk to Paul about Sam's accident I'd say, I just want us to do something good — I want us to make his tragedy beautiful. “
"Lord, as we embrace our suffering help us to do something beautiful in remembrance and in honor of our son. May we aid in helping others make good choices, keep his spirit alive, and magnify You. Mostly Lord, help us heal and grow well together! Amen.”
