At Ele’s Place, we provide a safe space for children and families to find healing through shared experiences. Our mission is built around compassion and community, helping those who have lost a loved one to navigate their grief. Here, we foster connections and empower individuals to embrace hope and healing.

Our Vision

To ensure no child or teen grieves alone in Michigan.

Our Mission

Ele's Place is a nonprofit, community-based organization dedicated to creating awareness of and support for grieving children and their families. Through peer support groups, Ele's Place helps children learn how to cope with the death of a parent, sibling or someone else close to them. Ele's Place is named in honor of Ele Stover, who died in 1989 at the age of 11 months. She is survived by four siblings.
