Mike and Gina Franco started their non-profit foundation to honor their daughter, Dominque Franco, who passed away suddenly on Feb. 16, 2019, at 21.
Dominque was in her junior year at the University of Rhode Island, studying to be a nurse, and was president of her sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha. Her dream job was to be a pediatric oncology nurse at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
“She lit up the entire room with her amazing smile. She had a heart of gold and was truly determined to change the world and make it a better place,” Gina told Pascack Press on Jan. 3.
She added, “My job as her mom is to carry her forward and keep honoring her the best I can and our family is most grateful for everyone who’s stood by and continues to stand by our side.”
