Helping Families at Their Most Difficult Time

A wife who loses a husband is called a widow. A husband who loses a wife is called a widower. A child who loses his parents is called an orphan. But...there is no word for a parent who loses a child, that's how awful the loss is.
~ Winston Churchill

 

Thanks to generous donors, Family Resource Network's Healing Heart Society is providing a much needed service to families in Amador, Calaveras, San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Tuolumne Counties — that of providing financial assistance to families upon the death of their child with special needs. Since its inception in June of 2007, 120 families have received financial assistance from the Healing Hearts Society.

Agencies throughout the region have let us know that the Healing Hearts Society is the only local source for this type of established assistance to families. We know that many families face serious financial difficulties due to the child's illness or disability. Families who have received Healing Heart Society funds have let us know that these funds are greatly appreciated.

The Healing Hearts Society is funded exclusively through private donations. Family Resource Network is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and donations are tax deductible. All donations to Family Resource Network's Healing Hearts Society are of tremendous assistance to families as they begin the healing process.

Donations may be made to Family Resource Network, 5250 Claremont Ave., Suite 148, Stockton, CA 95207. Please note on the check that the donation is for the Healing Hearts Society.

Do you know someone who deserves special recognition?

We all know someone who has been the cornerstone of our child's success. Or that special someone we turn to in a crisis who has always been able to guide us. Please consider awarding that special someone whose actions are always beyond the call of duty with a certificate recognizing them as a FRIEND IN DEED.

Submit the form below to FRN and we will make sure that those friends whose acts of kindness and compassion have made a difference in the life of a child and their family are formally recognized. Their names will be printed in FRN's next newsletter.
