On Christmas Day Donna Fountain, 38, crossed a street in Brooklyn and was killed by a hit-and-run driver. Discovered on the body was a list of dreams. According to reports, her hopes included buying a home when she reached 45, marrying the woman of her dreams, opening a home for gay and lesbian teens, and seeing her child graduate from college.

Local leaders and politicians have created a scholarship fund for Fountain's  8-year-old son Elijah. The fund started with a $25,000 donation.

"On Christmas morning, a nightmare took place where a mother was taken from her child. There's nothing we can do to stop that nightmare, but we can continue to dream of ensuring her son receives a quality education,” said state Senator Eric Adams as reported by NY1 News.

As of now there have been no arrests. There is a $2,500 reward for information leading to the driver's conviction.

For information about the fund, Adams' office can be reached by phone (718) 284-4700 or at its website.
