LET US LIVE IN A WORLD
WHERE NO CHILD GRIEVES ALONE

Mary's Place has not only
helped me understand
how to deal with
the death of my Mom,
but also to know
that I'm not alone.
Mary's Place has helped
make my son stronger and wiser
when it comes to loss
and as time passes
I see growth and
healing take place.

You come
and sit and
cry with them
and help them
remember the
good times.
We share
and play
and everyone
is nice and
I can talk about
my Mom.
WE CAN DO THIS, TOGETHER.
Your support is truly an investment in the lives of the grieving children and families who find solace within our walls.
Lives are forever changed through the connections and support discovered at Mary's Place.
We offer a unique, home-like environment; a place of comfort and trust, a place where secrets are kept and stories are told.
We are a beacon of light for all who come to us in their time of darkness.

"M
ary's Place holds a very special
place in my heart.
At the age of four my dad
passed away suddenly. I remember the fear,
sadness and overwhelming feeling of loss
that came along with his death. My best
friend was taken away from me forever. At
this time I needed support, and Mary's
Place was there for me and my mom. I
attended for three years and grew to love
every experience there: the arts and crafts,
grief games or even just sharing memories
of our loved ones. The other children that
surrounded me there knew what I was
going through which was comforting. One
of my biggest struggles after losing my dad
was the feeling of being different than all
my other peers at school. At Mary's Place
I wasn't different. Mary's Place showed me
that although grief is hard, everything will
turn out okay.
I decided that I wanted to give back to
Mary's Place so I became a teen volunteer
in the children's group which I have done
for the past three years. The children that
attend these meetings are incredibly wise
and each one moves me with the amount
of strength they show.
