	Purpose of the Fund The purpose of the Isaiah Buffett-Davis Memorial Fund is to provide assistance - both financial and practical -- to at-risk pregnant women and their families. This support may include services such as counseling, help with household tasks such as cooking, cleaning and shopping, and childcare. History Shelley Davis used the occasion of her birthday in 1999 to establish a Named Continuity Fund in memory of her beloved grandson, Isaiah Buffett-Davis, who had recently been stillborn. Noting that the Chinese character for "crisis" is also the character for "opportunity," Shelley reflects that the greatest sorrows of our lives can have great value as well, providing the opportunity to advance in understanding and to create something meaningful from the pain. Although Isaiah's time on earth was far too brief, he was surrounded by love from the time of his conception - by his parents, Dr. Wendy Buffett and Dr. Marc Davis, his sister Maya, and his grandparents, Shelley and Harvey Davis. The entire family remains most grateful for the overwhelming support and love offered by their family, friends and the Jewish community of Beyt Tikkun throughout this extremely difficult time. Through this Fund, Isaiah's memory is kept alive in perpetuity and he will continue to do good in this world even though he is not physically a part of it. Creator of the Fund Shelley Davis
