Welcome to my Build The Castle fundraising page!
Three years ago, I sat on the couch at my cousins house broken. My husband had just passed away, the holidays had come and gone in a daze, I had a newborn to care for, a 5-year old who needed help understanding his grief, I was overwhelmed with grief myself, and frankly I was lost. I knew we needed help with our grief, but I didn’t know where to start. That’s when Shannon started searching and found SandCastles. “Megan, you need to check this place out. I really feel like they can help you guys. There is something about this place that just speaks to me”
So, I thought about it for a few weeks, did a little research, tried to read some grief websites to deal with this all myself. Then I found a few more excuses to put off calling. But finally, I was willing to admit to myself that grief was overwhelming us and I found the courage to call. Shannon was right…there is something about this place!
SandCastles opened the door to a community that understood us, supported us, grieved with us, and helped us move forward in our grief journey. Watching my son learn about grief, connect with peers that understood his grief, watching him open up to talk about his Dad…those are gifts that I will always be grateful for. And for me I found a group that just gets it, that I could connect with, that could support me and I could help support.
The mission of SandCastles Grief Support Program is to provide a caring place for children, teens, and their families who have experienced a death. SandCastles offers quality community-based family grief services, which encourage peer support and are enhanced by educational outreach. I cannot begin to express how much SandCastles has helped and supported our little family and other families that are grieving.
I am honored to have been asked to be a Team Captain and help raise funds for SandCastles. Help me support SandCastles by making a donation or joining my team today! The process is fast, easy, and secure. The generosity of your gift will truly make a difference in the life of another. It is our goal to continue to offer these programs free of charge to all families dealing with loss.
Thank you for joining me in helping to sustain this amazing program and to help Build The Castle!
