Editor's Notes
- For me personally this hits home. My father passed last winter and when he left us we struggled emotionally and financially because it was all of a sudden. After it happened we were lucky to have good friends and family to support us financially but some people aren’t as fortunate as myself to have that type community around them. We want to give that type of support to people we need it. Along with finances, the trauma experienced is crushing even to the strongest of people and especially with younger people it’s something that is difficult to deal with. Our foundation wants to be there for young people and their family emotionally, financially, and physically. Our goal “our goal is to have a hot line and connect with other resources such as graveyards to connect people who have had a recent loss and connections for food donations and small businesses for help too once we have a good base in DC we will expand to Detroit Main the city with the most fatal car accidents (16.2 deaths per 100 K residents) and then all the major cities with height rates of death and St. Louis, Missouri with the most murders in 2015. And grow on. Once we are established in the US
- Our foundation is here to support you financially, physically, and emotionally. Losing someone can be a confusing period of time, dealing with you grievances and loss of financial support that they may provided. It’s simple, easy to understand, and rolls off the tongue. We are not able change what happened, but we can support you along the way. Whether it be talking to someone who genuinely cares, arranging meet-ups or receiving food, we are here to help manage this turbulent time.
- - We will provide emotional, financial, and physical support for those who have suffered a sudden loss or death. - We were lucky to have good friends and family to support us financially but some people aren’t as fortunate as others to have that type community around them - Along with finances, the trauma experienced is crushing even to the strongest of people and especially with younger people it’s something that is difficult to deal with and our foundation wants to be there for young people and their families emotionally, financially, and physically.
- We all know when someone suddenly passes the family is left wondering how will we pay the next bill Heart Healers plans to give money for the first 3-5 months after the passing and to partner with local grocery stores to supply water food and other basic needs such as bathroom items We will also aim help find jobs in certain cases where others need to step up and help contribute
- For this piece of our program, we will put out a hotline that will get you with volunteers who have dealt with similar losses around the same age as the victim. And we will also provide follow up calls with the person calling and text/call them regularly checking up on them every few days. We will also have a support group with adults and teens who have had similar experiences where they can have a safe place to speak in their communities.
- just to talk to To have someone one just talk to you isn’t enough for some people so meeting up will make things better To know someone is making an effort you see you and maybe go to a movie or hit the mall is pivotal in going through the sorrow that the death brings It will also help them feel more comfortable talking about it and building trust instead of blocking people off
- There will be scheduled discussion session different days of the week for different age groups and/or what age group they want to talk to. After the experience you may become a better person and we will encourage you to explore your feelings and help you realise that you deserve to live on and be a better person for yourself and loved ones. Going back to exactly who you were will not make you more whole but more empty and lost. Volunteers have simulations to get a feel of how to react and how people might act. We will try to have all volunteers have experience with heartache from close deaths.
- We provide people who deeply care about your well being,so they provide check ins and follow ups. People who can share their experiences. One of the first programs to provide sudden loss support .We also have a wide range of volunteers so you can have an option who you talk to, so you can speak to someone your comfortable talking too.We also have meet up for people who want to be hands on in there remission process and can socialize with people who have been through the same thing.
- We have decided to partner with two nonprofits. This is due to the fact that ina xth and development. Another goal of ours is to be sponsored by places of worship, funeral homes, and local hospitals.
- We will have advertising in hospitals asking for volunteers and exposure to those who come there and get bad news of loss. There will be business cards in funeral homes. We will ask for time in classes to discuss and to promote our organization for young kids who seek for help and support. We will ask for donations from local and national grocery stores for those who need help with their finances.
- We aim to provide emotional financial and physical support for those who have suffered the effects of a sudden loss.
