Gold Star Widow to Newsmax: We Help Children ‘Keep Memories’

Gold Star widow Lacey Evans told Newsmax that the foundation established in honor of her husband, U.S. Army Sgt. Matthew Kyle Evans, works to help Gold Star children “keep memories and mementos of their parent.”

Evans told the Chris Salcedo Show that the Kyle Evans Let It Shine Foundation has a special place for kids, “We send these wooden, handcrafted, curated boxes to Gold Star kids. They are meant to serve as a place for the child to keep memories and special mementos of their parent.

The foundation also works with Gold Star families to assist with light displays at Christmastime. “And then we also do Christmas lights for Gold Star families in our surrounding area. And our hope is to do that nationwide eventually.”
