When siblings Valerie Rocio Raecke and Paul Harvey lost their spouses within a year of each other, they decided to join forces and create a nonprofit that would keep their memories alive while helping a cause near and dear to all of them, children.“We miss our spouses each day, and our love for them is eternal,” Rocio Raecke said about herself and her brother. “We would like to think that we have found a way to turn our grief into relief for others and share the love that we have for them by doing good things for children who may not be as blessed as we have been.”The duo founded Kai’s and Cora’s Foundation for Kids in honor of Kai Raecke, who died of glioblastoma, a terminal brain cancer, in April 2020 and Corazon Rivera Harvey who died of COVID-19 in November 2020.
