" I want nothing but the best for my kids. I realized that I can't protect them from all hurt, but at Kate's Club they can express their hurt and sorrow and be comforted by a devoted loving place where it's okay to cry or miss their loved one. "

" My involvement with a bereavement camp led me to discover spiritual healing by brining me comfort amongst others who had experienced loss. I was able to feel and see the benefit of brining peers together that shared this experience. I became aware of the vital element of support that I did not have as a child, and the need to bring it to children during the most influential time in their young life."
