Holiday Gift Cards
Once again we will be offering our holiday gift cards. This is
a great way to give a meaningful gift to those special people on
your gift list and help the children and families of Mary’s Place. more
Grief Animals
Sometimes our ideas for our projects come from
the children themselves. Such is the case with
our current activity. Susavonne, one of our
children in the Big Kids group brought in a
project that she had come up with and had made
at home. She called it her “Grief Bunny”. more
