“Supporting Kidds offers an outlet for children to be around other kids that have suffered a loss similar to their own. This unique setting makes children feel safe and teaches them that there is support and people who truly care. Coming here was one of the best decisions I could have made.”

Mother of a 6-year-old girl
“This experience has given me something I have known subconsciously but have only been able to bring out now because of Supporting Kidds… You will see you are not alone and there are many families who have gone through through this horrific life event that can affect every single one of us, any day, any moment.”

Father of a teenage boy
“My daughter’s experience was very positive. Having other peers around her in similar situations made her open up and talk about her feelings. She was always excited to come each week and very happy when she left. ”
