KinderMourn’s Mission Possible
Saturday, August 8, 2009 by Planet Janet.
Some people know this about me, and some don’t. My first baby, Cooper, died on his due date in February 2001.
> Read Cooper’s story, as I told it at KinderMourn’s Memorial service in December 2007.
KinderMourn literally saved my life. If it weren’t for their Empty Arms support group and my grief counselor, Christine Crawford…well, let’s just say it wouldn’t be pretty. So when I opened the paper to see KinderMourn featured in the Observer today as a focus of Charlotte Mission Possible, I jumped for joy.
> Read a snippet of the Observer article.
The United Way debacle has really hurt this organization, and that directly hurts local families who really need KinderMourn’s guidance through grieving.
Charlotte non-profits are all tightening their belt straps, and some are even closing. There’s no easy answer, but I think there’s hope. If only each of us would vow to do one charitable activity or make one charitable donation per month (don’t focus on size or amount, now — just do whatever you can), can you imagine how Charlotte would look in 2015?
