Planting the seeds of tomorrow, today.
The Legacy Society honors people who have made a lasting commitment to children we serve by including a gift to Hibiscus Children’s Center in their wills, trusts or estate plans.
Mike & Jan Harrell
“Recently, we needed to update our wills. As part of that process, we discussed the fact that even though we have for years volunteered and donated to Hibiscus and knew what a difference it makes in the lives and futures of abused and neglected children, we had not included a gift to Hibiscus in our wills.
Why was that? Our answer was simple. We just never took the time to do what needed to be done. Luckily, our wills needed updating to specify which gifts we were leaving our two children. As a result, we have now included Hibiscus in both our wills.”
“I feel blessed to have the Village in my life!” – Jan Harrell
Andrew & Norma Mellor
“After a long life of work in the ‘cold North’, we now lead a comfortable life of retirement, volunteering and charitable giving here in beautiful Vero Beach. For this we have to thank our parents and grandparents who left us their intangible legacies of encouragement of education, hard work, and rational decisions. We will eventually be “paying forward” these legacies in a more tangible way in the form of bequests that we have been adding to our Estate Plans.
Following the Parable of the Good Samaritan (for those of us who remember our long-ago religious upbringing) we have chosen several organizations that help others who are less fortunate than we have been. We are glad to include Hibiscus Children’s Center as one of these. Our bequest will help Hibiscus to continue looking after neglected and abused children for many years to come. We hope that our parents and grandparents would be proud.
We encourage all of you to examine your Wills and Trusts and add a few “paying forward” legacies of your own”!

“I have Hibiscus in my Will already because this organization has made such a difference in so many children’s lives over 35 years and I am proud to be part of continuing this effort”.
Who will be better off in some way from your time here in the world? Who will ensure that Hibiscus Children’s Center will be around to continue to make a difference and rebuild the lives of abused, abandoned, and neglected children in our community?
You can perpetuate your values and priorities. By Leaving a Legacy through Hibiscus Children’s Center, you continue giving back forever.
Anyone can choose to ensure Hibiscus will be here in the future so that no child is ever turned away from the help they need.
