Overview

Mission

Camp for grieving children.

What it reported doing in 2023

Due to the last couple of years we did not do camp. This year we did give out grief books, journals and made bears for grieving children. We have found another organization to carry on our mission of helping grieving children on their grief journey. Hospice of Michigan will be holding camps in norther Michigan with the tools and finacial support we have given them this year. We do have some more money coming in to pass on to them in 2024 before we close. We wanted them to start a fund called Children's Bereavement Network Legecy Fund to carry on supporting grieving children. They will be hosting a camp in 2024 with the support of our funds.
