I started the Wesley Seth Foundation 7
months after losing my 2 year old grandson
to a drowning at his at home daycare in
2023.
Wesley was my only grandchild at the time.
The pain my daughter and son-in-law felt
as well as our entire family was enormous.

Water Safety extends beyond season
concerns and includes all bodies of water,
not just backyard pools.
By implementing proper education,
supervision, and precautions, we can
significantly decrease preventable
water-related tragedies.
GoalGoal
Safety in the water is not a matter of choice; it
is a responsibility that demands our attention
and commitment.
The Wesley Seth Foundation is dedicated to
raising funds for education and safety items
that go directly into the communities we serve.
