Ways to Give
Help Make Connection Possible.
Your generosity helps children, teens, and families find support after a death—at no cost to them.
Keeping Dad Part of the Conversation
Benjamin was two and Zachary was one when their dad, Brian, died. Each week, Shawn drove her sons from Flint to Lansing for group. As Zachary grew and began asking questions about his dad, Benjamin could share what he remembered.
“Because the boys were so young, I was worried they would forget their dad, but Ele’s Place helped us keep Brian’s memory alive.” — Shawn Panter
A Giving Circle’s First Gift
