Connection and Hope for the Grieving
For nearly fifty years, Kara has been a place where connection brings healing. In our circles of support, people share their stories, tears, and memories—and discover that even in grief, they are not alone.
Every hug, every shared moment of understanding, reminds us that connection is what carries us through loss.
Because of you, thousands of children, teens, and adults find the courage to reach out and the comfort of being met with compassion. Your generosity ensures that our peer grief support services remain free and accessible to anyone who needs them. In their words, one client expressed the relief your support makes possible: Dealing with the loss of a loved one is not easy. Kara took away the financial burden during this time.
Your heartfelt contribution eases the financial strain on grieving hearts. With your support, we can reach our $400,000 end of year goal and keep hope and healing within everyone’s reach.
Those we serve share the healing impact of our services:
Kara has been a true lifeline for me, time and again, throughout these first five years since my partner’s passing. The facilitators and fellow group members have stood by me through moments of joy and the most profound lows. Words hardly seem enough to express my gratitude for the safe, compassionate support I’ve found at Kara — it’s been a source of strength I didn’t know I needed. - Adult, Spouse/Partner Loss Group
I liked learning about ambiguity and how difficult it is to understand grief when one is in shock, how it impacts the family structure, and how it immobilizes us and affects our understanding, our health, and our response capacities. - Adult, Spanish Services “Grief from a Distance” Workshop
At my school, I am all alone and have no one else with similar problems. Here, at Camp Kara, I feel safe to share, loved, and that I am not alone in my grief.
We urge you to make a donation today! Join us as we continue building a community of connection and compassion for all who grieve. Together, we can ensure that no one faces grief alone.
We are deeply grateful for your kindness and generosity.
