Ellory’s Hugs for Humanity, is a new non profit organization created in memory of Ellory Rose Whillock. Ellory Rose Whillock was born October 24, 1990 with a heart as wide-open as the West Texas sky where she grew-up, and an energy as vibrant and warm as the city of Austin where she blossomed. Whether it was by insisting on buying hats and gloves for a row of homeless people caught in a sudden snowstorm or offering her father’s coat to a shivering man on the street, Ellory’s love and compassion toward others was demonstrated time and again.
On December 18, 2010, Ellory relocated to Heaven following a fatal accident. Those who loved her were left with overwhelming grief and many unanswerable questions. Out of tragedy came a Divine plan, and it was a detailed, specific and complete plan. Do something for others in a way that would make her proud. Ellory’s Hugs for Humanity was created to honor her with a purpose, and is dedicated to providing for our community’s homeless population.
From that day forward, through one blessing after another, this organization has flourished from that Divine plan into living reality. Ellory’s friends, family, and even strangers have stepped up to make it happen. It’s as if helping others is contagious.
There is no simple way to sum up the beauty of Ellory in a paragraph, but the essence of her heart is what drives us to continue her legacy through helping one person at a time. Let’s be more like Ellory and not look away.
May the warmth of Ellory’s kindness comfort us all.
