In memory of Mark Pichnarcik
With your help we can effectively reach bereaved grandparents, parents and siblings suffering the loss of a child and provide them with the support that we offer through self help groups, encouragement, meetings and literature.

Story

My parents and I lost my 16 year old brother Mark, 13 years ago to Leukemia. Mark fought a four year extremely long battle, he went through non stop chemo, radiation, blood transfusions, spinal taps, bone marrow transplant as well as stem transplants. And stayed extremely strong and determined all the way to his last breathe. 

The Compassionate Friends has been a big part of my life. The Compassionate Friends is a non-profit self help grief support organization helping bereaved parents, siblings and grandparents through their grief journey following the loss of their child, sibling or grandchild. With your donation we are able to HOPE to our bereaved families. 

Thank you so much for your generosity in advance.
