“My mother died when I was nine years old. I had no one to talk to. No one to share the grief with, comfort me, give me a hug or to help me deal with the loss. It was an isolated situation. I turned out OK, but life wasn’t easy.

I wish there had been an organization like Hospice of the Chesapeake around back then.  There wasn’t. But thank goodness this organization exists today to help children and young adults deal with the loss of a loved one.”

In 2019 Hospice of the Chesapeake celebrates its 40^th Anniversary. That’s 40 years of serving over 40,000 patients and their family and friends deal with the one thing we all will have to deal with eventually, losing a loved one.

One program they offer for surviving children is Chesapeake Kids and that’s what I am raising money for, because you can help mend a broken heart. You can help a child or young adult deal with the loss of a parent or family member and give them an opportunity I didn’t have.

We are asking for $40 to celebrate the 40^th Anniversary, but any amount makes a difference.

You can immediately help by supporting this program in one of two ways:

$40 will appear on your phone bill. It’s that easy. Thank you for helping to mend a broken heart.
