Four-year-old Logan Jack Stokes, son of Adam and Ivelisse Stokes, passed away on May 24, 2022, at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Beginning at birth, Logan’s parents, family, doctors, medical staff, and a caring community put forth a powerful effort to keep him healthy, happy, and strong. Logan also put forth an equal effort, however, with little improvement. He was placed on a wait list for a double organ transplant that never materialized. (Twenty people die every day in America waiting for an organ transplant). Logan was playful and happy, despite being connected to supportive medical equipment. This did not deter him from being an active little boy.
At the funeral it was obvious to all that letting go was going to be very difficult for Logan’s friends and family. The only comfort realized was that for the first time in his life, Logan was free from cords leading to medical equipment. The friends of Logan, however, were not ready to let go. They were determined to have Logan’s essence continue in the form of care for others. They organized a charity golf event at Allentown Municipal Golf Course and raised $7,500.00. The money was donated to the Krysta Hankee Memorial Fund. Why this particular family service organization? The KHMF helped Logan’s parents with transportation costs related to the many trips they made to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The Krysta Hankee Memorial Fund also paid the cost of a trip to St. Louis, Missouri, for Logan’s specialized evaluation and service. Logan’s family also received a tremendous amount of support from Logan’s father’s workplace. Logan’s family and friends created the “Friends of Logan” initiative to recognize and pay forward the love and care that was given to Logan. Their $7,500.00 donation to the Krysta Hankee Memorial Fund will provide approximately 50,000 miles of travel for Lehigh Valley families traveling far and wide to address critical needs. “Friends of Logan” have truly used their grief as a foundation to deliver goodness to many families they may never meet.

About Logan
Logan Jack Stokes was born at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia with a condition called Hypoplastic left heart syndrome. He was scheduled to receive the Norwood procedure, which is 3 heart surgeries over the space of 3-5 years to help remedy his condition. Unfortunately, Logan had complications and by the time he was 18 months old, had been through 5 surgeries. This brought on another condition called Pulmonary Vein Stenosis which is in-curable. His only chance of survival was to have a heart and lung transplant. Logan was on the transplant waiting list at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for 14 months. Further evaluation concluded he would not survive the surgery due to a high number of compromised veins. His medical team made the difficult decision to remove him from the list.
Following this, Logan had a second opinion at St. Louis Children’s Hospital in Missouri. Their insurance would not provide medical transportation so they bought a bigger car, rented an oxygen machine that would work for long trips and set off. After 2 weeks of assessments, it was decided that Logan would not make it through the surgery. Logan’s family then returned to the Lehigh Valley and comforted him with loving care. From the time that Logan had Pulmonary Vein Stenosis, he received stents every 3 months to keep his veins open for as long as possible. Unfortunately, Logan became very sick again in November, and spent the last 7 months of his life in the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
Logan had to spend over 50% of his 4-year life in the hospital. He was on oxygen support from 4 days old and also on a feeding machine. His parents would work from the hospital and stay in Philadelphia or drive back home every day. Logan is sorely missed by all who knew him. “Friends of Logan” are proud to remember him by helping others.
We wanted to 
express our sincere gratitude to the Krysta Hankee Memorial Fund for the generous gas cards. We will be driving to CHOP in Philadelphia from the Lehigh Valley 5 days a week for 6 weeks for our little 6 year old girl, Bellsie, to receive radiation treatments for an inoperable tumor. An already very stressful time has been made just a little bit easier with a blessing like this – we are speechless and so very grateful. Please know that your daughter’s spirit is helping our daughter, and we are so very blessed this fund will be a part of our little girl’s journey.
Forever grateful and in love and peace –
Bellsie and her family
“Thank you so very much for your very generous donation towards Aurora’s fight with the gas cards you sent. I can not describe to you just how much these gift cards for gas help our family and our situation during this time frame in Aurora’s fight with Leukemia. We are so very grateful and extremely blessed that your overly generous hearts are helping out families such as ourselves in such a difficult time. Your daughters story is extremely admirable and we are so blessed by her and you all. Thank you all so very much. God Bless each of you!”

My name is Robinette. I am 53 and am battling stage 4 cancer of my colon, liver and lungs. Today my social worker from St. Luke’s Quakertown, gave me a GIANT gas gift card from your foundation. Thank you for helping others in need. Your gift prompted me to go the the Krysta Hankee Memorial Fund website. I read Krysta’s story. What you are doing to help others is a wonderful way to honor her memory. I saw her photograph and she was beautiful. I am sure she was just as beautiful on the inside. Again, thank you for helping others. Much Love & Respect, Robinette
I would like to thank the Krysta Hankee Memorial Fund for it’s donation to my family through our time of need. We are very grateful and wish you all continued success. It is work like this that continues to make this world a better place. So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you very much. Sincerely, The Holder Family
Thank you for the gift cards you brought to our home a few weeks ago. Chris is now out of the hospital and feeling much better. The gift cards will help when we have to travel to Boston In July. Christopher requires 24/7 care and I no longer work to serve his needs and that of his brother Matthew. It is a job I never want to give up. Thank you for your service in memory of Krysta. I am sorry for your loss. She looked like such a beautiful and happy young woman. It is an honor to briefly know her through your pamphlet. Best regards, The Weber family
Thank you so much for supplying our family with gas cards. We are eternally grateful that you supplied us with the means to get back & forth to the hospital and Dr. visits. It is so wonderful that your organization does this. May God bless you always. Julie & Mike Rossi and family
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the food/gas cards.They really came in handy. Jeff is not doing well although he is cancer free-thank God. They just can’t pinpoint what is wrong. God bless you both for you kindness & generosity. You are special people and loved by all. Jeff & AnnMarie
As the grandmother of a 12 year grandson being treated for a brain tumor at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, I want to thank “Krysta Cares” for the Giant Gas cards. While I live just south of Philadelphia, Jackson lives 300 miles from CHOP – in Chesapeake, VA. Our whole family works together transporting him for his weekly treatments, enabling him to attend school most days and his parents to keep working to support the family. While many weeks of treatment were provided at The Children’s Hospital of the Kings Daughters in Norfolk, VA ,for the past several months his treatment of choice is not offered there- necessitating a 600 mile round trip. We ALL sincerely appreciate the financial support . Every bit makes a huge difference in our efforts to restore Jackson’s vision and health. Thank you.
We drive 90 minutes each way to take our grandson to his OT and Speech therapy sessions. This week we were handed a gift card from your fund. We wanted to write to thank you for your most thoughtful and generous gift. We appreciate it more than you can know and are deeply touched by how you have used Krysta’s passing to help so many people. God bless you! If we can EVER do anything to help you, all you have to do is ask. With all our thanks and deepest appreciation, the family of Samuel Ogden
We just wanted to thank you for your donation toward our transportation expenses in getting to Good Shepherd. Krysta was and is a beautiful soul. We are praying for a full recovery and it’s people like you who touch our heart-strings, who care and make a difference as Krysta had done in the Lehigh Valley. God bless you.
“Words cannot express how thankful we are for the gas cards. We travel to CHOP once a week for Wyatt to be seen at the Oncology clinic. The gas cards are very helpful. Thank you so much.”
“We wanted to send a personal note of heartfelt thanks for the gas card. We have received a few from your daughter’s fund. It has been such a blessing to receive these gifts. That is one less thing to worry about. Our daughter is doing well and is blessed to have a facility like CHOP so close to home. Thanks again.”
Thank you so much for taking the time to care for and to help many families like my own that you have never even met. The story of turning your loss into support for those in need is truly inspiring. Your gas card is very handy when having to travel between home and CHOP for continued care and visits. Thank you for caring. It’s nice to know that you carry Krysta’s spirit along through your many good deeds.
