I tend to forget that a lot of people know very little about The Shore Grief Center so it’s time to to set some misbeliefs straight. We are a startup 501c3 nonprofit. We receive no government funding nor any from the supersized nonprofits which will readily take your donation when you are vulnerable after a loss.
This happens time and time again. I was one of those who raised a lot of money for such an organization after my son died from suicide. I wished I had donated that same amount of time and effort to the support groups which helped me survive this horrendous loss. Perhaps they didn’t ask for a donation. But now I know they could continue to help others if they received even small donations.
The Shore Grief Center’s facilitators are in the trenches with those grieving and helping them navigate the waters of lost dreams. And yes, we can use your donations! We can expand to help even more people who do live in areas which offer no type of grief support.
So if you’re assisting someone who has experienced the death of a loved one and they have family and friends who wish to donate in their loved one’s memory, please consider donating to your local grief support group.
Donations for The Shore can be made here. We will use your donation wisely by being there, face-to-face, who those who are grieving.
Thank you and I’ll be writing more blogs to let you know how we help those grieving.
