Linda's Story
The Fairy Godmother Foundation of New York, Inc.™ was created in 2017 to honor the legacy of an extraordinary young woman, Linda Shohatee (1997-2016). Linda spent more than half of her life in hospitals, and despite the obstacles she faced, her story is one of strength and tenacity. Linda saw herself as a “survivor,” and was relentless in her determination to live life to its fullest.
The Fairy Godmother Foundation of New York, Inc.™ makes dreams come true to improve the quality of life of individuals living with medical, physical, mental health, or developmental challenges and supports other organizations serving these populations.
