When a military family loses a loved one who is on active duty, it leaves them devastated.
Not only are they grieving from the loss but they also have to plan for the future. And what if a child wants to attend college?
Children of Fallen Patriots helps children across the country afford to go to college. The founders of the organization said they have provided hundreds of military children — from all service branches — with scholarships.

Cynthia Kim is the organization's co-founder.
"We help them go to college ... and we also do other support," Kim said. "We help them with their resumes and interview skills, help them find jobs," Kim said.
Olivia Snow is a scholarship recipient who is now in law school.
"Not only did they help me financially, but Ms. Kim helped me a lot with my network, so she actually wrote my recommendation letter for law school," Snow said. "I had two legal internships."

The Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation has 25 scholars from Palm Beach County or attending school in the county.
To date, Children of Fallen Patriots has provided about $309,000 to support students here.
Additionally, the organization estimates they will be supporting 149 Gold Star scholars going to college or trade school in Florida in 2025.
