Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We're raising money for the Grief Encounter Project, a charity that helps bereaved children through the confusion and pain of grief. Desreen Brooks was killed on 10th November 2012, leaving her two-year-old son, Jackson, without a living mum for the rest of his life. The blog www.lifeasawidower.com tells the story of the struggles he and his family have suffered together since, but also the hope that springs from organisations such as Grief Encounter. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks so much for any support you can offer.
